I could happen to find a nice day for getting my boat on the water and took some memorial pics.!!
To my regret, it was cloudy though...
A model boat looks better on the water to my eyes..??
I really feel refreshing to see such pics of model boats floating calmly and/or sailing realistically...

Here are the pics of sailing at slow speed since this was the first to sail after completion.
I just checked how she behaved on the water and went so so as usual for a fast scale pla-model boat.
The most anxious point was if the brushless motors were well cooled by the water and this was also very well done as seen
in the pic No3. The pic No3 shows sufficient drain of water from both sides of hull for this level of speed.
In the next step on the water, she will receive mainly a test of speed and its behaviours.

Looking good for a first sail, Kiyo!

Arno,
A great thanks for your quick reaction of kind comment.!!!


I'm so much satisfied with the clear pic of draining as greatly expected to do so.
Because in the early stages of trial runs of my first jet drive boat, cooling water wasn't necessarily drained/supplied sufficiently by which some brushless motors had been burned out..
But even this jet drive boat could be later improved successfully to drain well enough as seen in the following 2 pics, leading to a nice sailing performance with which I'm so satisfied.!!
I'm not a so-called speed mania,but had better know the ultimate performance of a model boat built with lots of efforts just like real ships/boats which have possibly been proved seriously and precisely in the trial runs before their deliveries, especially warships might be the cases..??    I usually have not operated my boats at full throttle, needless to say.
