Port Area

Some members of our Central Switzerland MSC are working on creating a harbor on our pond.As the site is open to the public, it may only lie loose in the water and must be dismantled after the meeting.
I have received so many tips and ideas from you, thank you for that.
One small object has already been created, a small fishing hut. More will follow. A lighthouse is also on the list of details.
First a main part and a side bridge will be created. Let's see how everything continues. . .
Your Michel-C. with Friends
PS:Here are some of your ideas and existing jetties and harbor structures

Hello Friends!
I'm making slow progress, but giving up is not an option for me. The laser will have to do some work today. I also had to overhaul some equipment. As my late grandfather always told me: If you want to understand how the world works, start with the things you can repair yourself. (Today too?) I just got his old lathe back into shape. He would certainly be proud that it is still being used! So I have to keep lasering, despite our holiday, the founding day of Switzerland in 1291. At that time, there were only small fishing boats, but no model boats... or were there? Just without remote controls and annoying iPhones! During my last vacation, I left my cell phone and all my technical gadgets at home. What a relaxing 4-day trip! Best wishes, Michel-C. ▲

Hello, your landlubber greets you again...
I was working in my shipyard again this evening. Drilling, painting, gluing, cutting the required wooden parts to size, screwing them together . . The usual tinkering! Slowly you can see something, but always one thing at a time. Building too quickly without thinking always leads to mistakes. I'll continue tomorrow, because it's raining here. Good for nature. Sleep well, your Michel-C.

Michel,
Most dismayed to read of your wife's accident. I know only too well how painful and slow to heal back injuries can be. My very best wishes to her for a full and speedy recovery. Alles gute, Doug😎 ▲

Mike I'm very sorry about your wife, but this idea of the port is simply fantastic and will have to be realized.

Hi Herman,
Unfortunately, my wife's accident has cancelled all her plans. It will probably be autumn before she is out of pain. It's a plate fracture above the 3rd spine. Lengthy and long healing time . . But postponed is not cancelled! Please understand, Your Michel-C. ▲

Michel C schönen Morgen
Our pound is 3/4 covered with algea. So we can’t sail at the moment. Because the algae blocks the screw of the boats 🤣🤣 Any plans of traveling to Belgium? I m still waiting😂 ▲

Hello everyone,
Our pond is suffering from the heat because the water supply has been diverted for work. Now the fire brigade has to pump in fresh water from a hydrant . . . . As you can see, it's a bit of a brown broth, but as soon as everything is normal, it will get better. Nevertheless, the harbour approach is looking good. More jetties will follow . . I'm fully committed, but in between there's still travelling to do! See you soon on this ether, yours Michel-C. and Friends @ Sekuru 👍👍👍 Can you see my club colleague's bugbear? (Bugsier 3 / Graupner)

Hello everyone
The Sunday before last (27.04.25) we had our annual opening cruise with the christening of new model ships. My friend Otto and I put up our test harbor. The response was perfect, now there are five of us and we are expanding the model harbor. . The fishing nets, crates, barrels and other things are missing. The start is in full swing! let us surprise you! Happy tinkering on my part! Michel-C.

Down here in darkest Devon, the Exeter and District Model Boat Club put our 1:24 model port in place last year. Different members built the buildings - I did the water mill and my dad, Peewit83, produced the control tower.
We are currently refurbishing the buildings and pontoons after they had been out for a year and are currently producing a ferry port extension.

Nice! Always wanted to belong to a club that had the desire to do this type of harbor facility.
