RCSailing is just for fun, no gain.

So ah, is this thing mobile ? Towable ? Open the door and window, drag it down the road and all that pesky sawdust and debris would be GONE !
Actually, you’ve done a great job on it…. Now a mini bar fridge and music is all that’s left..

Perhaps not a true description with both boats being battery powered ! however - just for fun I thought it would be nice to showcase together, similar boats sailed at my own local model boat club and some of those sailed at the Hayling club - a sort of "Model Club Twinning".

My Bermuda rigged "Slim Nip 2" evolved from many hours of enjoyment I have had building, sailing and re tweaking previous "Nips".
The Bermuda rigged "Slim Nip 2" was a natural progression from my recent uni rigged "Slim Nip"
I just had to explore how an extended (76cm) Bermuda rigged hull would look and sail ?.
Length - 760mm , Beam - 170mm , Mast - 1100mm (Deck to top).

She look really good. If she was mine I would try the following idea. Lower the jib boom closer to the deck, add a bit more camber into the sails and open the slot up between the jib and the main and the jib when the sails are pulled in.
Just my thoughts enjoy sailing her

Hi Roger , all noted. I did put on an adjustable jib rack expecting to have "juggle" positions. With the weather starting to improve hopefully I can spend a bit more time working on the finer points. Someone once said to me , "you can get anything to sail , but its more difficult to get it to sail well" - How very true !!!!.
cheers

I have now completed the final tests before launching and everything works well. I will do a small update soon because the crane still cannot clear the stern railings. The solution is to reduce the size of the hook on the crane. It does look rather big.😀 I have tried again to load a video of the wiring. We will see.

During the first Lockdown I made the video about my N gauge railway layout which I put on the forum this morning. Whilst searching through my hard disc I found some others I had made at the same time. This is one of them.
Having previously been a fireman I have a great interest in the history of the service from it's beginnings and particularly the men and woman from the NFS and AFS who fought fires and completed rescues throughout the Blitz of World War II from the 7th September 1940 to the 11th May 1941 and beyond. When there was an air raid these men and women stayed above ground to fight the subsequent fires and make rescues from collapsed buildings when many other people took cover below.
This short video apart from being an exercise for me in making YouTube videos is also my tribute to those men and women.

Thank you very much for your reply to my post. Absolutely fascinating that your Mother was a valued member of the NFS in World War II. Many of the firewomen during the Blitz and throughout the war, although they did not perform frontline fire fighting duties were responsible for many tasks. They operated the telephone and radio systems and fire plotting rooms throughout the country many above ground and did suffer casualties from falling bombs. They also transported fire fighting equipment from location to location as needed and often delivered equipment to fire scenes during air raids. And of course we must not forget they also staffed the canteen wagons that provided food and a cup of tea to the firemen at often protracted incidents.
When the war first started in 1939 these men, with little to do, were looked upon by some people as those who where avoiding joining the armed services and serving with the British Expeditionary Force fighting in France. These men were looked down on as cowards. When the Blitz started in September of 1940 all that changed.
When the war ended, 1027 firemen and over 24 firewomen had lost their lives.
Winston Churchill called all that served in the NFS and AFS "Heroes with grimy faces"

Having completed my layout depicting the preparations for D-Day in 1944 along came the pandemic. So as a Lockdown project I decided to make some short videos to put on YouTube. As I had not produced any videos before I wanted to see how easy or not it was to make and upload on YouTube.
As I recently posted a collection of photographs of my N gauge shelf layout I decided to add the video.

With regards to the YouTube link, I am obviously doing something wrong when adding the link to the video but for the life of me I don't know where I have made a mistake. So I have copied below the YouTube link that can be copied and pasted into a browser.

Just for fun thought I would revisit a " fan assisted " Wee Nip . Looking again at issues such as noise, focus, changes in light and the suitability for various camera platforms for close encounters!.
Tested here at our local lake with the Buxton Model Boat Club.

Cool, calm early late November morning. Very light wind expected to increase slightly but perfect for my "Slim Nip" which is a modified Wee Nip. Just pop in the extended mast with high aspect sail - and enjoy :-
