My Favourite Topic: TonyH   for Fat pointy thing! - Arquebuse class French destroyer

http://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=17389.msg173389#msg173389
 ..... and also putting on a live demonstration over the Wicksteed weekend ... by ramming (now infamous) roaming lighthouse!

The Over Optamistic Award: (aka: burst steam pipe award!)  Flashtwo

 For his " winter's secret project...not only flash steam powered, but also jet propelled ... the gas cylinder is inverted
and the liquid butane/propane mix passes through a manually operated isolation valve and then a servo-controlled valve.
The fuel then passes along a 400mm length of copper pipe before entering a fuel pre-heater that is heated by the exhaust
gases of the boiler, i.e. NO direct heating by a flame is involved. The boat also has a novel form of directional control which
many will find interesting. Effectively it is a boat with no propeller nor rudder!

Cheers Martin!

Any chance of a steering course on the BIG lake next year - might suit the turning circle a bit more.

The owner and builder of the Sea Queen is Dennis Hubble and with the Maggie M is Dave Mears again the owner and builder.

Well done to both of them!
