 So further rto below (above)  I wasn't rushing or anything, just been keeping my eye open on here, Ebay, Facebook & Gumtree.

As of last weekend I somehow find I now own:

Joysway Orion Yacht ( Facebook )




Poseidon 650 ( Friend )





Thunder Tiger Victoria ( Facebook - £15 !!! )

 



And also a Kyosho Fairwind - Motor Sailer! ( ebay )

Those of you that have followed this topic, may have noticed something that I may have not recognised...... am I ADHD?

Anyone have personal experience of this?
 Any advice on how to deal with it?    {:-{

 Thought I need a new OEM key for my car, as mine was falling apart.
 Looked online, cheapest I could find was £150+ quid!!!!

 My colleague said you can get replacement cases nowadays - £3-20 .... ordered one off Amazon.

  Just spent 2 hours swapping it over  - WHAT A FAFF!

      But surprisingly, it does work!  :o

Loved the Straight running at Wicksteed this year - https://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,70659.0.html

  Would a River Spiller Launch make a good straight runner?

  ... asking for a friend!

It would indeed, would work well after being set up with a slightly over size rudder  :-))
