Tiki
My Gaff Rigged Bristol Pilot Cutter started life as a static display model which I recently adapted for " Radio Control " . With extra sealing inside and out, she is seen here on her inaugural trial sailing - checking balance / trim /steering and simple sail control.
Certainly no claims here on scale or workmanship ! - just a " fun and functional " model which more than satisfies my initial challenge ! .

RC Laser
RC Laser - not a home brew of course, but for many years an object of desire due to simplicity of design, assembly, aesthetics and convenience.
Love the Laser, but the Wee Nip still my "go to" boat.

Mickey Finn
Purchased original Rojair Mickey Finn from Ashton Models 35 years ago - hull suffered damaged so made a F/G mould before repairing and sailing. Made spare hull from mould and there she sat for 35+ years. Original Mickey was sold many years ago but as retirement approached the burning desire to fulfill old challenges re-emerged.
So , after putting out calls for help, diagrams, photos or information on the model boat forums, thanks to "John Dowd" and a couple of other guys, I finally got round to resurrecting this fantastic 36" yacht.

"Genie"
"Genie" was classic Marblehead design from Vic Smead , she had a hard chine hull construction.
Living in New Zealand in the early 70`s I ended up building 4 of these in total - only glad I took some picies.
Long gone now, but not forgotten !

Hi Bob, yes the Griffon belongs to Hayling Island Model Club Member Mike.
The club are a great bunch of guys with a wide range of model knowledge and I enjoy being able the share media from such an enthusiastic club.
Rob is the website manager who sent me the video clip - I thought it too good not to share through my RCSailing channel while experimenting with "Youtube shorts".
P.S my channel is not monetarised - its just for fun.

The problem seems to have worsened with the ever increasing population of Canada Geese !!.
I recall reading a paper some time ago about the damage , nuisance and public health problems that these wild birds cause when 'domestically'
encouraged . Just how much of this is fact I wouldn't know , other than nothing gets done untill there is a serious incedent in relation to the "Problem".

Usually the annual weed problems come and go - but this year things look worse than ever in many areas around the UK.
Is it that Councils and Park management consortiums don't know what to do - or do they need help ???๐ค
