Just thought I'd start an new topic and hope it runs nicely without argument, bad comment or any other animosity..........for a long while.............gives us a nice insight then as to where we all sail..........nothing simpler

and that is of our day's sailing down the lake.......

just a date time and location is all that's needed.

So to start it off...........Fleetwood this evening, and a lovely sail it was too.lovely and calm...........perfect lifeboat weather, lol

Hi Derek Sun tugs of London had a fleet of tugs all starting with Sun and when they started to run out of names they had Sun, SunII, SunIII etc up to Sun XXVII, but there was NO Sun XIII or XIV for some reason. Geo

VnKiwi. That's an old photo. Im in it. Had the Missouri there and have only ever sailed there twice. The first two years of the Missouri's commission.
Its all ready for Cambridge this year. Hope to have new RC gear so will be sailing her in that lovely big lake.
Adrian.

Hi Adrian,
Yep, is old, but didn't have any whole lake photos from the last Turtle lake day, only individual boats. Will be good to see you again at Lake Karapiro, just hope the lake will be smooth as it was last year, otherwise with my wee boats, would be like a rowing boat in a mid Atlantic storm, same as the big lake in Hamilton.
Post up a photo of your local lake.
cheers

I do not have one. That's why I go to Cambridge. Are you going to Waihi in September. May pop up if time allows.

kiwi96 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 20, 2014, 12:53:21 am »

Sorry but did sail on the Ohiwa Harbour once. Never again. Salt water too much trouble to clean after.

Thanks for saying so

It's a little something I knocked together over a couple of months as a feasibility study more than anything. Anything that sails on that lake needs to be bulletproof in the 'not sinking' stakes - let's say the lake monster has claimed a few over the years

I see flickr is playing silly beggars with my pics currently… what's more annoying is that the pics are all still there and unaltered!

I saw this this a waited until you altered them. As you cannot i have removed them for you.

============================================

Thanks Neil for starting this all off - I really like your first pic, not from any technical standpoint, but from the feeling of a nice relaxing warm Summer's evening.

Not actually today - last Autumn to be precise, but it does give a good impression of our water - Cawcutts Lake, near Cambridge. Its also not quite as idyllic as it seems, there is rescue attempt going on.
One of the boats on the left has picked up a crayfish catching net someone had left in the water. The lifeboat is trying to rescue it.

Smashing pictures.

What happens when a yacht goes under the waterfalls ? Does it affect it in any way ?

Cheers

Netleyned · « **Reply #21 on:** July 20, 2014, 11:12:00 am »

Yachts are ok Ken,
They are well sealed.
They just get a good wash

Scale models dont fare so well if they break down and drift close in

Funnily enough 2.4GHz sets are not affected when the model is the other side of the fountain.

Ned

Tug-Kenny RIP · « **Reply #22 on:** July 20, 2014, 11:17:06 am »

I was concerned that the downward thrust might be a force to recon with.

I should imagine the 2.4 Ghz could get through the air gaps in the waterfall, so you will appear to get away with it.

Cheers

just had an evening sail at Roker Park Lake in Sunderland - MSC Archer (tug) and the Glynn Guest HMS Penelope - nice evening's relaxing sail - but you know what I wasnt half disappointed in Roker lake its gone scruffy - didnt used to be like that.
