- Dave MVice AdmiralHi JTodd
Perhaps I should have explained better when I pointed you in that direction.
The intention of the Build Blog is to allow you to post details and Pics as you build so our members can share your experience. it works fine if used in this way and there are plenty of Build Blogs in support of this.
You can easily add to your build blog and give each addition a title relevant to the build, plus any written comments and pics, this then allows others to follow your progress.
Stephen is possibly on holiday but will be able to advise you on his return.
If the weather over your side of the pond is anything like the UK your Constellation has possibly been in the doldrums, our Schooners on my sailing lake certainly have!
I look forward to many more posts showing your models and building skills.
Regards

As small boy, I invested many hours in the basement on Dad's workbench to construct the Revell plastic kit of USS CONSTITUTION. I remember the detail of that model and subsequent plastic & wooden builds, so I can fathom the painstaking effort it involved to create this work of art. Thank you.

Dorset RCMBC 'Navy Day' part 2
Remaining model boats on the water that day. Don't get many days when I can film where I get conditions like these. Was a real pleasure to film them.

JOLIE BRISE gaff-rigged cutter
This fantastic model was scratch built by John of the Solent Radio Controlled Model Boat Club. Here it is seen sailing in light winds on Setley Pond in the New Forest, UK.
She took about a year to construct and is now into the third year of sailing. The boat is based on the period 1929/34 when "Bobby" Somerset owned her, he won the Fastnet race twice and finished second once, infact she is the only boat to win the Fastnet three times. She is based on the river Hamble and is owned by Dauntseys school in Wiltshire and is regularly raced by the pupils there. The model is approximately 1:15 scale.
In 2013 the full size Jolie Brise celebrated the centenary anniversary of her construction by the Paumelle yard in Le Havre in 1913. The world famous, gaff-rigged pilot cutter was the last boat to carry the royal mail under sail and has won the Fastnet Race three times, including the inaugural race in 1925. in 2015 and 2016 she was the overall winner of the Tall Ships Races.
Jolie Brise is owned, maintained and sailed by the pupils of Dauntsey's School. For more information about Jolie Brise go to,

Sea Hornet
While waiting for a second coat of epoxy to dry on my other model i enlarged some plans of an old Sea Hornet kit that I purchased a few days ago. I copied them 25% larger which gives length of 32 inches i then cut out the keel and bulkheads, i have only fitted them loosely for the picture.
Done a bit more to the hull and fitted the stringers and the bottom skins

- canabusLieutenantHi Jim
I will be watching this built very close, as I have built one from original plans and also did the 25% as a future project.
Because of the very limited engine and radio hatch, I design them larger, but, you are on the right path. I installed a 28mm brushless motor, 3S 2650mah Lipo battery with a 2 blade 32mm brass prop. I don't think the 25% bigger a one would require any more power as it a rocket. My hatches run down the deck planking lines, the original hatches are only for show.
The engine starts from the front seat and finishes at the rear windscreen.
I made up the cockpit floors etc. before I skinned the sides, a lot easier, also the floor is split over the keel with the seats one piece.

Gusty Cat (ex Lady Daphne)
I like Douglas Adams books. ..(and Terry Pratchett too)
But I was most attracted to Gusty Cat ...
So.. Model of thames barge , build according to modified plans of sb Lady Daphne in scale 1:28 (length cca 1 meter ).
it will be again a model with an auxiliary motor, staysail class.
I am currently grinding the laminate hull with several layers of putty.
It is an ungrateful job.

Inside story: Offshore RC Powerboat Racing
In this follow-up video, Richard, a member of the Offshore Model Racing Association (OMRA) gives me some insight into racing and his boat.

Offshore RC powerboat racing (Southampton, UK)
Have to admit that this is not something I was aware of until very recently...but in my quest to broaden my YouTube channel to all things RC I found the Offshore Model Racing Association (OMRA). I contacted them and they invited me down to their most recent racing event in Southampton. Despite the bumpy conditions there was some close racing and I think I captured the flavour of what it was all about.

- Dom of Essential RCChief Petty Officer 1st ClassThese E class boats are normally 65" but can go up to 85" (but are apparently rare because they take 2-3 people to launch). Engines in the 65" are typically 30cc Zenoah or similar.
Paul Devlin's Crash Tender
By way of a contrast I found some video from 2014 at the St Helens Open Day.
Beautiful scale model Crash tender operating at some speed.
Nostalgic or wot.
Great model Paul and well sailed
