Welcome to Waverley
Waverley is the last sea-going paddle steamer in the world and was famously gifted for £1 in 1974 and saved for the nation.
Waverley is proudly owned by a Registered Charity and regularly visits several areas of the U.K. including the Firth of Clyde, Western Isles, Bristol Channel, South Coast and Thames visiting over 60 ports and pier.
Unfortunately, Waverley has been withdrawn from service for 2019 and urgently needs new boilers or she will never sail again. We need your support now to save this magnificent vessel.

WAVERLEY WITHDRAWN FROM SERVICE
Waverley Excursions Ltd deeply regrets to inform our loyal customers and supporters that Paddle Steamer Waverley will not operate in 2019. As part of the winter maintenance programme we have been undertaking boiler works. Unfortunately, after extensive consultation and investigation it is now conclusive that the ship’s boilers require replacement.
We immediately face a significant challenge to raise the required funds to reboiler Waverley and return her to service. Waverley is owned by a Registered Charity which will shortly be launching an appeal to ‘Save the Waverley’ and ensure she sails in 2020. We fully appreciate any support at this time to help return Waverley to steam. Please donate now

hi martin,
please don't think I am being funny😡, but have you tried putting the plugs in the opposite way round, I still some times put the plugs in the wrong way round,the silver bits you can see I think should be facing down from the battery connection and so on. I cant believe it wont work,I have had a dx6i and never had any problems only what I have said above. there is a answer some where 👍

revelle kit bought of ebay for £5.00 sailed it in my pond where it is very smooth. it sails ok but needs better ballasting as centre of gravity is causeing it to lean a bit. useing 40 MHz mini receiver and mini lipo battery as shown in photo. glad I built it though hope you like it to. (Motor: mfa 3-9v re140 No457) (ESC: chinese type 10amp) (8/10)
