    our pond has been especially built for us by the local government. Completely in concrete and about 120 cm deep. On top of that to avoid wind problems it's about 200 cm lowered as the ground level. In the past we had petrol driven boats until th neigbours complaint about the noice. Our club had sailing yachts, steam and electric. The sailing side has left us last year because of the lack of wind( which is understandable) In the past they loved it because the A class sailing yachts had no winches and the skippers had to run around the pond to adjust their yachts. But in those days we had an agreement when there was a competition going on for the sailing yachts no other boats were allowed that day. the same apllies for the steam and the electric. And this agreement stands until today. When no competition is on electric and steam driven do meet without any problem.And when a boat has sunk it is due to the skipper who made a mistake. Hereby a picture of our pond and how it looks.

    Michel you are an artist, an engeneer, a genious I don’t have other words for people who can fiddle around witha 3D printer. In the other club I m in there’s a guy who made already 2 complete boats with his printer. They are copies of the australian coast guard and the last one is 1,70 m long and the details are intedible. If I was wearing a hat I would take it off for this people

    This becomes a β€žWorldβ€œ Problem.
    In Antwerp we were blessed with 7 shops. Now we only have 1 luckely his son has stepped in so with a Little Bit of luck i can do my Shopping weithin 10 minutes Walk from where i live. I m member of 2 clubs and they love to order in China. When you Go to the shop you pay a few Cents more but you have it straight away as this shop has a huge offer.
    As a principal i Never order in China
    I Hope people realise what the Future will bring of this carries on
