Pictures from the 2022 Edina Model Yacht Club "Parade of Boats" day event.

Our club has a "Parade of Boats" day every June. Club members bring boats to display, and there are scheduled events throughout the day. A lot of locals bring their lawn chairs and spend the day enjoying our boats. The two floating lighthouses are used during our two "Lighthouse Day" events, which go until dark so we can display our boat lighting.

Trev,
I'm not sure. The boat is HUGE, about 6' long. The boat is an older build. I do know the owner, I can ask him at our next club meeting.

Trev,
When I originally said I knew who owned the boat, I was mistaken. However, since then I have found out who owns it. At our club's recent annual "Dry Dock" luncheon, I asked him about the power plant. He informed me it is an engine from an old Sears Craftsman chainsaw. No wonder you didn't recognize it!

Model Framing Jig

Re the:- Model Framing Jig from jbkiwi .

Seeing the time and effort other people put into their modelling hobby, and looking at the "build blogs" and forum comments on "Model Boats Website". I was prompted to share (with agreement) a couple of build (logs) blogs which would reach a wider audience via my youtube posts.
The intention is just to supplement and acknowledge ideas from all who share this common interest.
No monitorisation is received from this or any postings.

Thanks for the video. A some fine collection of boats on the water. The rowboats have to be an extremely difficult build.

RC Maiami, a bit of fun on the estuary

Just a simple model I built for my son about 14yrs ago. He wasn't interested (more into computers) so I use it for the salt water. Just a brass shaft and 12v high speed 380 motor, runs quite well. Ran it to try out the new 4K camera, (set on 1920x1080) but had to convert the vid from MOV to MP4 to edit it, so it reduced the clarity a bit. At least it doesn't have a blurry bit in the middle of the lens like my 10yr old one. have to figure out a better way, (or get a better editor)

This might be clearer

Hi wunwinlo
This was built by another club member and sold on when he finished sailing models so we do not have the plan. It is a model of a Sea Plane tender and was probably built in the 1960's. It could have been a kit from the Maycraft stable or even Veron but also possibly built from a plan in Model Boats or its predecessors. Doug replaced the brushed 550 motors with two 2028 brushless arounf 1000Kv with scale 3 blade brass props and 11.1v LiPo 2200Ma. Models from this period are very nostalgic and I look forward to seeing your model some time in the future,
Cheers

Thanks for the info on your model, Dave. I thoroughly agree that the 50/60's models of the 'RAF Navy' vessels have a lot going for them. There's nothing nicer than a planing hull and two hot brushless!
