Reluctantly, I have to say goodbye to two old friends ! For health and other probs. I am no longer able to do much
sailing anymore. I was a long time member of Mid-Thames MBC. Have two 46" Crash tenders of different pedigrees
for sale.
#1 Original Aerokits 46" boat
built by me In 1960's using a "Taycol"
motor and heavy NiFe batts. ! Two
restorations, In 1980's and 2006. Now has 2 x "Bullet" 24v
motors [1980's], auto
cooling pump, and monitor pump.[
monitors servo driven] Rigged as original "94" Heavy but easily achieves well above scale speed and planes. Won "Best In show" at Burton Fireboat Fun Day In 2009.
#2 SemI
scratch built 46" boat from 2007. Built on GRP hull and some pre-cut
parts from Mike Mayhew at Waverley Models. Most of
woodwork and metal fitts. made by me. GRP hull Is very close to Vosper profiles. Fitted with 2 x w/cooled Graupner 820BB race
motors, auto
cooling pump etc. Rigged as original "93"
Both boats have 2 x "Electronise" 30A ESC'S and Futaba 40meg
radios. Both fitted with Propshop 3 blade
racing props.
Both are In running order with cell packs etc. Packs may need replacing as duration now a bit tired. With a bit of a further update, both boats would still compete with the best ! For some pics and further data PM me. I am going to try to bring both boats to the Leicester Fireboat Funday next month If anyone Is Interested In them. Just need a sensible offer ! Good
sailing !
