We had pretty good weather for this meet of the Suncoast Scale Model Boat Club. The temperature was 84F instead of the usual 90-92F for this time of the year. No rain, clear skies and a light breeze. The photos show the variety of boats (leaning a little heavy on the tugs) present at the meet.

On Sunday Knightcote Model Boat Club had its annual openday, here are some pictures.

Very pleased with how this model runs.

Run Century mahogany R/C model at Spencer's last week had a few hic ups needed to change the brushed motor now runs fine.

First run of My Midwest Sequin Tug Boat plus a dumas tug with a barge. The pool superviser got some Fake white swans to keep the geese away which was a failure.

Put together a wee video of Snowberry's first time on the water, recorded by my husband using my Pocket3 Gimbal camera...

Anyone Recognise This Boat Kit ? Picked it up at a B&B sale last Sunday - put it in the bath today to float test it but it sank in 6 minutes - trying to look for the kit to see if it worth spending time on but cant find anything

The strange looking green "boat" is the camera boat.

Second sail of the year

The Confederation Marine model club put on a static show Saturday & Sunday.Rain all day Saturday, so I could not visit the small ship that is a replica of 1813 Hamilton sloop that sank along with the Scouge Aug.18 1813 Club had a good turnout of members.

We had a good meet and a nice variety of boats. Getting hot as the temperature rose just over 90F. Very light breeze allowed the boats to settle in the water nicely. One member brought his Costeau boat Calypso for its first and sounds like its last water adventure. Howard decided it was too fragile to handle. It features lots of lights and he has worked out a way of using house power to keep the lights running while on the shelf for display. No issues with the boats this time. I guess the storm troopers (Dave and Greg?) kept everything under control. They all came back under their own power. Hope you enjoy the photos.
