BRAVO ZULU MR. KRINGLE! HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL R/C BOATERS. HAVE A SAFE R/C BOATING NEW YEAR!

Your keel shape is a bit longer but very similar Here is some info I have gleaned.

Full scale 8 Metre boats - meaning 8 metres at the waterline - go back to around 1907 and they proved extremely popular with around 140 being built around Europe during the first seven years alone. it was a time of very rapid boat development and equally rapid evolution of class rules. At one stage 'Metre Boats' were allowed one foot of beam for every metre of waterline length, a possibly unique combination of metric and imperial in an international Rule.

Current 8M boats derive from a model obtained 5-10 years ago by Robin Edgar and Alan Woodroffe of the Southwater Dabblers MBC who thought it was based on a J-Class. However, it was later found that what they had was a model of a Fife 8 Metre instead. in any event, the boat remained of great interest because the hull shape and relatively low draught makes it an excellent choice for shallow waters and especially for ponds with bad weed. They used the model to create some 50+ hulls.

Can you tell me more about your mini 12

Very nice model putty picture so small.

Brings back memories of past voyages on the real ship from Liverpool to Douglas. Sails well and nice detail

BRAVO ZULU! THAT'S SO VERY DETAILED.

I remember seeing Waverley in Sussex.

Truly a beautiful model. Electric drive? Waverley underwent extensive refit and repairs at Gt Yarmouth here in Norfolk many years ago when I saw the paddles up on the quayside. Grand old girl still going strong.

Excellent thank you for sharing

some magnificent craftsmanship on display ,the one with the carved dragons is incredible doesn't look like they used any wood filler unlike some of us (me) ,well back to the whittling with the laser .

Real great evening, sail weather was great & the free coffee was too thanks to club exec. for having a Light up the night run

Brilliant👍👍👍 and cool cool music 😉
Odd, couldn't download your version but Paul's version worked but a different 'cut' and with classical music! OK but not as cool as yours.
Cheers Doug 😎

thanks Dom
