On the weekend spotted a yard sale . The older gentleman had restored a model he had built but the cat got to it . So because of his age he had decided to no longer have a hobby . We talk about model boats & stuff & he gave the wood to me & the 3 models . Future Build blog projects Maybe but wood is always handy to have in case power goes out.

Tomorrow the Confederation Marine modeler's will have our first meeting & the theme is bring one of your oldest model boats . So here is my Billing's Cutty Sark Built in 1977 for my sister she took it to her in-laws Manor in Milford Bay Ontario their it stayed above the fireplace for 20 years .Property was sold & it then went Amestburg Ontario for another 20 years Then it was returned to me.

Believed to be from Revell Models , " INGA IV " is a model Ketch , owned and sailed here by Martin Ward of the Hayling Island Model Boat Club.

RCSailing is just for fun, no gain. Other than sharing photos and videos relating to Buxton Model Boat Club activities, from time to time its nice to "showcase" models from other clubs and members as seen here with the link between BMBC & HIMBC - all sharing the common interest in model boats and the "Model Boat Website".

Model boats and yachting July 2022

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.

This Racing Sparrow was built by Buxton Model Boat Member Graham Royle.
Detail and precision are Grahams hallmark and it is a privilege for me to showcase some of his work through "RC Sailing" and the Model Boats Website.

"Fairey Huntsman" - Following renewed recent interest from Model Boats Website members,
here are three variations from BMBC members of the popular "Huntsman".

(Ref from Wikipedia)
Fairey Huntsman / Fairey Huntsman 28 / Fairey Huntsman 31: The design of the Huntsman and its smaller sister, the Huntress were the inspiration of Ray Hunt and designed by Alan Burnard.

Some details of Thor. - by Dean Ratcliffe.

Thor is a freelance design of a multicat vessel. These rather unusual ships are real workhorses, designed as a work platform, often with a hiab crane. The square hull gives a large flat deck, with plenty of open space for a work area or for deck cargo. The design also enables the vessel to be used as a tugboat, either pushing or towing and are often equipped with large deck winches and strong points for this purpose. A true Swiss army knife of the sea, able to adapt to most roles, some even have additional internal fuel tanks for refuelling other vessels.
