If only we all had access to such a great lake.

Back at the Main Lake !

Wow

Sorry not totally model boat related but I was at school in the late sixties in Manchester and after a series of sponsored walks the school bought the railway station in the basin as an outdoor pursuit centre. Many, many memories

Would love to visit the club now 50 odd years later with one of my many (some would say too many) models

So glad the basin is being put to such great use

Buxton Model Boat Club Celebrates 10 year anniversary

The Pavilion Gardens Lake in Buxton is the venue for the “Buxton Model Boat Club”, here local enthusiasts have sailed model boats on the lake for over 60 years.
Founded in 2004 as the "Pavilion Gardens model Boat Club " - the club was revitalised in 2012 and was renamed “Buxton Model Boat Club” , since then the club has grown from strength to strength and on Sunday 10th April 2022 celebrates 10 years in operation.

Set within 23-acres of magnificent landscaped gardens and play areas, the venue provides the perfect setting for fun days out for all the family with adequate parking facilities and recently updated amenities.

Close to the county boundaries with Cheshire, Staffordshire and South Yorkshire, Buxton is described as "the gateway to the Peak District National Park" and boasts many beautiful historic buildings dating back to 1871 which superbly show off the past Victorian splendour of Buxton.

As ambassadors for the town, many special events are supported and hosted by club members. The club objectives being to promote the hobby of model boating and encourage all age groups in the local community and surrounding area to participate, thus providing a quiet and relaxing visual aspect for both locals and visitors to the town.

Buxton Belle, good model of something a little bit different. Lovely sheerline and looked well in the water. A pretty, attractive model, very likeable.

Not wanting to put ideas in your head but a water squirter fitted in the beak would surprise them even more LOL!!

Martin,

You don’t have to be quackers ... but it helps 😂🤣

It entertains the passers by, some of them are taken in for a few seconds. You overhear some interesting discussions on the lakeside about wether it is real or not. The blue flashing eyes tend to give it away though. 😆

Graham93

Hi Phil,
I bet when people saw Graham's duck and ducklings on the water it made them really smile.
It did put a smile on my face.

Nice one Graham.

MODEL BOAT SAILING - AT BUGSWORTH BASIN
Bugsworth Canal Basin, the head of navigation of the Peak Forest Canal, was the largest and busiest inland port on Britain’s narrow canal system and the only one to survive intact. Famous canal and tramway engineer, Benjamin Outram, built the 14 mile long Peak Forest Canal from Dukinfield to Bugsworth, although plans to extend to Chapel Milton via Whitehough were never realised. Construction of the six mile Peak Forest Tramway in 1795 linked Bugsworth Basin to the limestone and gritstone quarries in Derbyshire, and the canal linked Bugsworth to Manchester and the trans-Pennine canal network.

Hi Phil,
Thats some interesting video of three different Huntsman craft - it is obviously a popular model with your club members!
I am working on a couple of Swordsman and a 34" Huntsman 31 at the moment, but I want to try to capture the shape of the small Huntsman model a little better (if I can) as the 34" model superstructure looks a little tall and the "dome" shaped roof that gives it does not look right either so I want to see if I can make it look more like the full size craft...and maybe convert to to a Huntsman Sport !
Bob.

"Fairey Huntsman"
Here are three variations from BMBC members of the popular "Huntsman".

Fairey Huntsman / Fairey Huntsman 28 / Fairey Huntsman 31: The design of the Huntsman and its smaller sister, the Huntress were the inspiration of Ray Hunt and designed by Alan Burnard. (Ref from Wikipedia)

Some details of Thor. by Buxton Model Boat Club Member Dean Ratcliffe.

Thor is a freelance design of a multicat vessel. These rather unusual ships are real workhorses, designed as a work platform, often with a hiab crane. The square hull gives a large flat deck, with plenty of open space for a work area or for deck cargo. The design also enables the vessel to be used as a tugboat, either pushing or towing and are often equipped with large deck winches and strong points for this purpose. A true Swiss army knife of the sea, able to adapt to most roles, some even have additional internal fuel tanks for refuelling other vessels. Despite their size and ungainly shape, they are surprisingly agile and seaworthy ships, have a look at Youtube.
Thor was my first scratch built model, so probably not one of my better ones, but has proven to be reliable, sails well for a box, and serves well as a rescue boat. Almost all the construction materials are recycled/upcycled, and is a very simple construction and quick to build. A single, former drill motor powers a single propeller, and is steered by a single rudder, and despite the limited controls and boxy hull, she will turn in her own length, however due to the tall wheelhouse, she does get pushed around by the wind a little, so can make manoeuvring "interesting". The deck cargo is just for interest and serves no other purpose, due to the offset wheelhouse, I had to add extra ballast on the starboard side as
a counter balance, this was just some steel rod I had, which is stuck inside the hull with some silicon sealer.

"Wee Nips" - Just a relaxing montage of memories sailing at various locations in and around Derbyshire.

Thanks Doug - Well done mate !

Agreed Phil, You just beat me to it!👍
So I've cleaned things up a bit.
There is already a separate 'Lurgy' Thread covering that other 'ubiquitous' subject!

So i am assuming he/she is new to Submarines.

Very nice Puffer.

RC Sailing hopes to illustrate a selection of RC Models filmed from various locations.
RC Sailing No 107 includes a broad range of Buxton Model Boat Club members boats that include Yachts , Tugs , Rowing boat , Submarine and other power boats

That looks like some fast looking yachts at Buxton. And a rescue boat too, what luxury. I'm envious, locked down in Wales, no chance of a sail.

The Buxton Model Boat Club sail at the Pavilion Gardens lake on Sunday and Thursday mornings - comments being - "an entertaining spectacle for all the family" and - "a Valuable asset and attraction to the town" .

More detail from Graham !

Thanks Nerys,

I really enjoyed the build. Lots of challenges along the way, both with the hull, the controls and Bionic Bill 😆. Gave me plenty to think about during lockdown and kept me busy while not being able to go out. The reaction, both here on the website, and when out on the lake has been brilliant. Bill was out rowing yesterday and there were lots of members of the public stopping to take photographs and ask questions.

Working on a few additions now to make it more interesting....

Graham93

👍Certainly at at our club, we can all learn from Grahams talents and experience !.⛵

To have created 'Bionic Bill' is in my opinion, a work of modelling genius.

Nerys

"Bionic Bill"

Graham Royle joined the Model Boat Website last summer, returning to modelling after a 45 year break. It was a display at Buxton Model Boat Club last year where he spoke with one of the members that got him started again.

Graham who is now a member of the Buxton Model Boat Club started his latest project "Bionic Bill", only 3 months ago at the beginning of lockdown.

What resulted is truly magnificent working model example of engineering, woodworking, electronics, perseverance and total dedication ! .

" Robbe Estelle "
Buxton Model Boat Club member Barry Cook sails his "Robbe Estelle" at the Pavilion Gardens Buxton.

Yes Peter, did a good job on her and she sailed so well in the variable conditions.

I must say how good I think she looks. I haven't seen pictures of a Speedline barge sailing before and I am quite impressed. I'm sure she is eligible to race under AMBO rules but she might suffer from being a little shorter than the 30" designated length.

Cheers, Nerys

Nerys, can take no credit at all for Juno, Elsa and Miss Sophie. They were crafted by DEAN one of our club Members. Hopfully I can get him intersted in the forum in due course !.
Phil

I like the idea of your Juno and Elsa, basically a very simple design developed two ways and both looking very good. Perhaps you have a point, is there any need to build anything really difficult, the simpler design will probably work perfectly well. On the other hand, the way they look, I cannot see you lacking the skill to build a more complicated hull. Well done Phil.

All the best, Nerys

More info on Juno as requested from builder Dean -
Juno is quite a basic flat bottomed boat, mainly due to my very basic modelling skills, and is intended to be a bunkers barge. She is roughly 1.24 scale, approximately 43 inches by 8 inches and is made from recycled and up cycled materials wherever possible. She has a single rudder and propeller, powered by a single motor from a drill, and two 6v lead acid batteries.
She is a totally freelance design, but I took inspiration from Humber barges such as the Humber Princess, which I used as a rough plan for the deck layout.

As a foot note to Juno, when I built her, I also built a second hull at the same time almost identical, but with a different deck layout. This became Elsa, my steam dredge barge.
