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.

Ice Breaking in Oxford
Video of an Oxford Model Boat Club member's tug breaking ice on the club's water last winter. I expect there to be some ice there this afternoon as well.

Landing Craft
Buxton Model Boat Club member Steve Hampson trial tests his home brew
"Tank Landing Craft" built with twin water jet drive. Sounds great on the water.

    I have often thought that I should research tank landing craft designs to see if I can combine my interest with 1/16 scale r/c model tanks

Yard Sale Find
I have way to much time to waste raking up the leaves & bagging them but I am still working on some of the models I got & this time it's the Bluenose kit that had all the masts broken off . I started it while our model boat club was at the Caledonia wood show . I try my best to get people to be interested in model boat building while I'm repair the model. The sails are up & now for the rat lines & a little painting & a few touch up here & there!

    You rarely see one as an RC mostly static with full sails. When we were in Lunenberg the Bluenose was not sailing with all of them up. Just the three seen on your model.

    Ronald, that's because the current master is no where neart the calibre of Angus Walter and the other captains of the Grand Banks fleet. Angus greatest love was hoisting full canvas and seeing how she'd do.

Yard Sale Find
In every yard sale find you come across a box that at first you think its just a bunch of junk .But I came upon a half kit with lots of parts missing The Swift 1805 . The model boat club I'm in did a show at the wood show in Caledonia so I bought a sheet of plywood just for this Swift's keel & frames . I also found a Bluenose model that had masts broken in Needed of some major repairs.

lighting
Just answering a question about the club run at night & yes some guys go overboard with lighting hope I can photo some of the more exotic lighted model boats. Here is my Gumboot Cloggeroo lobster model boat with a few lights . That name is a song by Stompin Tom Connors a Canadian song writer .

    I try and keep mine as they would be in real life, this is just one of my tugs.
    The reason they are so bright is that a few of the members of my old club could not see the duck house in day light, let along a model boat.

    If you are looking for very low cost lighting ( that is not scale ), I purchased extra blinking bicycle lights that are battery powered. These are small cubes that emit red or white and I am sure others as well.

    I just place it on my boat and let it go at my pond. They are bright and fun to watch.

Andrea Gail
The model boat club I'm in will hold a boats in the park at night on Thursday Sept.19th at 6:30 P.M. At Spencer's pool in Burlington . We do get a lot of spectators that enjoy the lighted model boats So I figured I'd better install some lights on my Andrea Gail the photo isn't that good but it will have to do for now. P/S installing lights sure is a pain ! And I'll take a few shots when it's darker.

Clive Puffer
Sat. Sept 7 Our club will have a fun run with Military ships Warships Merchant marine & support ships I looked up Clive Puffers & found out that Puffers where support ships during WW2 & the Admiralty placed a order in 1939 for steamships on that design Class VIC for Victualling Inshore Craft so my Clive Puffer will fit right in. Hope for no rain & I'll post a few war ship Photos.

    Hello Garth, the puffers did most of their trade on the Forth and Clyde canal in Scotland, and were known as Clyde Puffers.
    But they have been in existence since 1856 to 1939. There is loads of history on the Internet.
