RC Sailing :- 15th December 2019 - BMBC at the Pavilion Gardens Buxton.

Nice to meet up with Graham this week end in Buxton !.

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 !.

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.
