Hi Razor1955,
Yes I do agree.
I went into a boat yard in Norfolk and he had a sign that read
" If boats where meant to be made of Fibreglass
Then God would have made tree from Fibreglass"
I do have one I built in wood way back in the 70's and have built a couple of others in wood and bought one wooden one that I gave one to my brother.
But I have also got a Fibreglass hull of one that I bought of just the hull and was going to build a top end on it of just a top of my own design.
Don't know what it will ever look like but I do have all the shapes of the wooden parts drawn around onto some heavy wall lining paper in case I ever wanted to build another one in wood. I done this from a previous purchased one.

I know nothing about sailing ⛵boats.
Never been a fan of mine I am afraid, too much work to sail on them that's why I had a small cabin cruiser and a speed boat on the Norfolk Broads for 25 years.

Hi fireboat,
Finally a Titanic answer. There are hundreds more questions that Mr AI can come up with for Titanic for us.
I miss Titanic. 😁😁🤣🤣
Mind you Mary Rose gets missed.
My dad (R.I.P Pop) was a lover of that, I used to rib him of that, he was in the Navy and met my mum in the navy she was a Wren.
I used to say he was on the Mary Rose building crew.

I was expecting the name Titanic to come up maybe.
Just a sinking feeling on my behalf.
At least I got todays question correct.
I got yesterdays wrong and I didn't answer the days before at all as I couldn't even give it a guess.

HI SimpleSailor
I am the same as yoi I know nothing about submarines, so in the end I just took one lucky stab at an answer.
My guess was correct, I could NOT have been luckier.
I am now slowly climbing up the ranking table, I cannot believe it.
I am now Not the lowest on the ranking table showing page. WHOOPEEE !!!😂😂
now I'm speeding🚤🚤along 😊 happily.
That's until tomorrows question.
And the Ranking % drops for No reason every here and there. 🤔🤔.

I went to answer and was told that I had already answered todays question. This has happened several times in the past.
And it was also the wrong answer.
But then I would also have gone for Endurance and that's what had been answered.
IS AI intervening here on my behalf, I am watching the Australian Grand Prix on SKY and decided to look at todays question at the same time.
I'M annoyed to see someone has put in my incorrect answer that I WOULD have put before me.🤔🤔
HOW does this happen. 👎👎
This is happening too many times, how can my account be opened and this happen ????😠😠😠😠

Hi Doug,
That was as clear as MUD, as I have already said I was always the thick one at school and in the corner with the dunces hat on😂.
The bit that was clear is that come midnight my score will drop AGAIN.
But anyway I can live with that I will just keep trying to answer the questions correctly and try getting higher % than I am.
Or it's
Down down deeper and down.

I got it correct today WHoopee!!!🤣🤣. But I opened up and my % had dropped again even thought yesterday I got it correct, This is happening almost every day this week. It's kin stupid🙈🤕. I don't mind being bottom of the list as at school I was mostly in the corner with the dunce's hat on, but there you go. I'll just go ⛵sailing on tying to get higher. It's now been months since I had a 100% score since the higher archery changed the scoring system again. It's like being back in the classroom and I'm 6 again, I'l go and get the cane and book, I used to get that at least once a week or the ruler across the knuckles. 🤕🤕.

I went for the Sunstone and actually got a correct answer.
I only went for this as I recently watched 2 series on the internet called, Vikings and The Last Kingdom and they were using these on the ships for finding they way across the seas.
As you say it may have been a Myth but these series were just for fun to watch and enjoy.

I have just come on here for the first time today to enter the days question. And for some reason it tells me as I go to answer it comes up as I answer that I get it wrong and it's not the answer that I put. It tells me that I have already answered todays question. My % had dropped again, and I haven't been on here at all today We were watching stuff on the Firestick until 2am and I didn't get up until 11am and this is the first time I have been on the Model Boat Website today.
I JUST DO NOT GET THIS???????🙊🙊🙊😠😠

I have sone old ones similar. I pushed too many volts through and blew the bulbs, Still not bought any new bulbs yet, but I was able to prize the fronts off gently with a Stanley knife.
If they are the same type, some come off from the small chrome front rim and some are just the small coloured plastic glass that will gently prize out.
I hope this will be of help, Bare the wires ends twist them and then it's not too hard to get them back through the housing holes.

Hi Calypso , I presume that with Coach driving that you have to pay for the medical yourself? and also possibly your CPC sessions yearly?
When I worked for the Arriva bus company for 17 years they paid for those for the drivers.
Well the CPC sessions were all held in house by their own in house Learner Driver Trainers and CPC trainers. they also had their own in house PSV Test men.
I failed my first time I was given a second chance as I made one silly mistake but many never got second chances. It depended on what the failure was.
I wouldn't advise bus driving (well TFL red London Busses) as most of the youngsters are worse than animals, especially the school children. Believe it or not the girls are worse than the boys.
I was glad to retire I was assaulted a few times, spat at I even had a baseball bat put through the drivers side cab window because he had to follow the bus and couldn't pass it for a couple of miles through traffic.
I had to go home covered in glass my arm was cut and my wife was picking shards of glass from in my head with tweezers.
The police done nothing about it.

Wow, I got todays right. If the Titanic had been there I would have opted for that and dropped again.
I am slowly holding now on at 90%. how long for I don't know.
My general knowledge doesn't seem to be that great.
Bordering on 75 I should have listened to a bit more at school instead of wanting to leave at 14yrs & 11mths to start working in a butcher's and doing a 7 year apprenticeship. Then leaving that and going on to learning a totally different job, dry cleaning and Hoffman Pressing and doing that for 26 yrs then 17 years bus driving.
I am now loving just coming up to my 10 years retirement an totally enjoying it stuff what I didn't learn at school, I am glad I never learnt much french, I have never had a passport and never been out of the British Isles.

Yes as I predicted, I dropped back down from the 91% from yesterday to 90% and answered todays correctly. Still 90% stupid game.
I don't know why I answer these questions but I think it's just to try to keep my brain functioning.
Trying to keep dementia away, I suppose.

To me that makes no sense, I don't understand it. Come tomorrow, as once again tomorrow NEVER comes I could drop back again to 90% by what you say.

I knew today's answer and still clicked on the wrong answer with my mouse jumping about.
Now down to 73n %. I have a long way to go again now.
Let'a hope my luck picks up in 2025. I think my mouse needs new batteries.
Duracell next ones are coming to be installed, not these JCB AA ones.
