Boat pond at Spencer's
In Ontario, Canada, we don't have a lot of spots to sail our models where there's water. They put up signs & now our favorite sailing area has a fountain & those dam geese have set up their home there also.

    At the golf course pond we used to run the geese off the course with border collies. A nesting goose will attack a person but they fear border collies. It works for a couple of weeks at a time

    Are you kidding? I thought the pond was specifically designed for model boat sailing. Will this fountain be on 100% of the time ? Is it removable allowing the sailing on certain days?

    The spitfire was a working model but is too brittle for flight now but with some extra buoyancy is good as a ditched plane👍

Question of the day.
One of our club members built two dories that sailed in Spencer's pool in Burlington. The oars operated to propel the dory. Alex the Dory man is no longer with us . He had a tiny bottle of Skreech in the bow that someone walked away with. The lyrics describe Codfish Dan harpooning Halley's Comet, using the Big Dipper as a pot, and cooking fish on the sun—all while sailing through the cosmos in his golden dory. It’s classic Stompin’ Tom: full of Canadian pride, storytelling, and a catchy rhythm. Today's Question was about Dories, so I remember Alec's & his dory with fondness. The Moon-Man Newfie Stompin' Tom Conners.

Sailing at the Leander Boat Club dock Hamilton bay
A few of the Confederation Modellers members went to the Leander boat dock on Saturday, May 10, 2025, for test runs since the weather was great for sailing, and there were no weeds or green algae.

Zwart Zee
The Confederation Model Boat Club has been setting up a pool for many years, and it will be the same size as in 2024. The club made the pool forms many years ago, and I sure hope the museum helps to buy a new plastic liner because the old one sure leaks a lot.

    Hi Garth here in UK we found that the best pool liner was from lorry tarpaulin suppliers.

I'm getting an 'Invalid File Type' message when I try to upload the MP4 video file of all the equipment working. I think the file might be too big at 119Mb? ! Consequently I've just put a photo of the setup because I've been unable to delete my post!

    The key is to photograph from close to the water level, somewhere I can see but not reach any more.
