    Boat retrieval
    We had a very similar system, but used a
    tennis ball
    on the end of the line. It works very well. We found that the fishermen amongst us were called in at this point as they were usually more accurate. I’m not sure about doing it for a delicate scale model though!

    Magnetic motors
    Hi `Doug To be absolutely correct the ship I was on did not have Kort Nozels as it has a pair RR Azipulls, which have an inboard electric motor driving what is in effect a 360 deg rotating Schcttel Drive. The props aways face clean water as they face the direction of travel, un like a conventional shaft drive where they face aft and have loads of boat in the water flow. As with most electric ships 2 engines give normal cruising speeds of around 12 knots, for 15 you need another diesel on the line! It was interesting to see the actual controls. A knob about the size of a
    tennis ball
    with a small lever that moved through 90deg per Prop .Top dead centre was stop, all the way to horizontal was full power. The ship is MS Fram and she took us to 68deg 17 South !! An absolutely awesome voyage!! But this is maybe a tad off point for this thread.
