On the 20th of October, the Spencer pool will be drained for the winter skating season. I think it's a bit early, but no one listens to me.A couple of us set sail till next spring.The Gumbot Clogaroo ran real nice.
Please find enclosed some pictures taken last Wednesday by a Professional Photographer from Maghull that was visiting the lake (Southport Model Boat Club) - courtesy of Mike McMullin
If it wasn't for the 'fixed' people on board you could almost imagine these as full size boats. Just the odd exception with a rather disproportionate bow wave!
Filming over water at low sun angles with reflection and glare, can be frustrating as conditions change, - it then all takes time editing to get a reasonable result . Just for fun I got "Sailor Sam" and wing man Dave to give hand with the filming.

Our club will be sailing at Spencer's in the evening with our model boats lit up. I have upgraded my Jimwilder Tug with an LED light from our Dollar Store ( $ 4.50 ) now. Did a few modifications to get it in the tug.Looks pretty good & should be visible.

Am building an experimental airboat that will ideally be steered by differential thrust. Ignore the seat, we won't be sitting there any time soon 😐 but whenever it gets on water I'll post video at www.teledrone.com
I'm not sure if I posted a little run at Spencer's pool of my 44 lifeboat . Our lifeboats had to have a closed cabin, and therefore ours were not like the American open cockpit style due to our inclement weather or maybe we were smarter than the Americans and kept our crews warm year-round.😀
As of a few recent Spencers events someone said clockwise pattern. Near the end of the event last weekend a few gents wanted to run faster-electrics so everybody pulled their warships out.
On the weekend Confederation Marine Modellers held a warship regatta at the Burlington pool at Spencer's.I use my IPhone to video & it's a technique I can't seem to master.
