Hi,
For a spare hull that I have I decided rather rashley to have it propelled by a moving figure with a single oar over the transom.
As I am mechanically challenged I would like to find someone who is prepared to make the figure and send it to me here in Australia.
A negotiated fee is on offer and I do have the plans.
Regards

There's probably a way to set up a pendulum so that wave action would swing the figure and scull the boat.
You could use one of those hula dancer figures that goes on the car's dashboard :)

Check out the Yuloh.

Hi,
On the plans it shows how to connect the servo up inside the figure to give power and steering.

Don't know if it is of any interest but Model Boats had a nice little sculling boat with moveable man called Happy Harry back in the 80s
I have the plan - and the boat - and it worked pretty well. design by Graham Goodchild (who did a lot of neat little designs around that time)
But now Harry is getting older and he no longer sculls to get around - he has a British Seagull instead
Plans and pics available to if interested or if it sparks some ideas. But t'will have to be from home as I can't access photobucket from work

Hi,
It seems the subject has changed from the original post.
I need someone to make the control unit for me.
