Hi all;
I have been enjoying this boat for three years and she runs very well as seen in the following video.

Brilliant use of the electronic vibrato to sync with the ripples on the water :-)) ......can only assume the musical score was penned & played whilst watching the video?

Hi Derek;
Thank you so much for your comment.! :embarrassed:

Now, ready for boating on the lake if it'll be fine around there.!! :-)) :-))
According to the latest weather information around the lake, the weather is fine, north wind of 1m/s , 8 degrees C.
This is nearly sufficient enough to cruise on the lake, and Green algae may not possibly come up on there since the wind
is blowing hard right now..... :embarrassed: :D %% :-))
This will be the first cruise for me this year if it should realise truly.!! {-) {-)

My Najade came on here for the first time in a past one year at last anyhow under the very blue sky as seen in the last January cruise.
The pics for today are the very scenes that I just reached here.!! O0
1; North wind blowing at 1 m/s with the air temperature of 9 degrees C which is ideal for Rc boating under the blue sky as by the weather forecast. !!! :-)) :-))
2; Just arrived.!
3; The water is like this, NO ALGAE and SO CLEAR and CALM ! Is this for me to set sail on the water under the cold weather. {-)
4; Yachting group of the lake which is so energetic always to sail.!!
5; Mt.Fuji covered with snow on the summit seen here actually about 100km away from the lake.
6; The skipper of the boat delighted with the sailing conditions here today. :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) %% %% %% %% %%

Hi Dreadnought,
Thank you for your comment.
I have often heard in the TV news that the Europe (especially UK & France) had suffered from a heavy chill in these days the same as or different from normal January in the past..... :((
Take care of yourself not to catch a cold.
Japan appears to be a bit warmer than your district, and I am happy to be able to cruise my RC boats currently as in the pics.

As for the sailing of the Najade yesterday, she seemed to be happy in cruising the lake for the first time
in the last one year. :-)) :-))
Interesting pic is the 5th one in which you could see so many waterfowl were watching seriously and quietly my Najade passing in front of them without any surprise at all....!!!!!! {-) {-) {-) %% %% %% Are they highly intelligent ? or accustomed to
routine RC boatings by the enthusiasts...??? {-) {-) {-) {-)
Also enjoyable is to get the RC boat to pass so close to me at high speed as seen in the Pic No.6.
Anyhow, a RC boating on the water is really enjoyable and happy to do regardless of the season, isn't it??? O0 O0 :-)) :-))
-
I cant believe that it was 3 years ago that you started building this kit.
Nice job, well done, it looks really good on the water.
Bob.

Hi Bob,
So glad to have your kind comment on my Najade sailing. :-))
And if possible, I wish to see your RC cabin cruisers sailing under the chilly weather in your country of this season,
if you are enjoying the sailing in spite of such weather...??? O0

Pics for today are my Najade polished intensively by a new car wax that I bought a few days ago FOR my 1/1 full-size car. {-)
This is the very first to use and very well done with brilliant surface of the boat as seen below, though the pics could not possibly, properly and unfortunately reflect the real result of the surface.... {:-{ {-) >>:-( <:(
One of the reasons why I did an intensive waxing is to refrain from evil Algae and other supernatant matters that often
have made her pure white hull dirty from time to time so far... >>:-(
This new wax is said in the advertisement that it is high water-repellent, high gloss and 4 months sustainable period of
the effect.... {-) :embarrassed: 8) :-))
This Najade is supposed to accept a trial run of waxing effect on coming Sunday when will be fine weather and very calm on the water according to the latest weather forecast. :-))
I wonder what kind of special measures you are taking to refrain from such floating matters on the water??
-
I couldn't go to our local lake to operate my najade as it was too cold about 8 degrees C, by which my wife hesitated to follow me very much who was so good a camera woman.... {:-{ >:-o <:( :-X
Instead, I hereby put the video taken in the last January. {-) {-) {-) One of her masterpieces of video recordings. !! :-)) :-))

Hi all,
I enjoyed wonderful cruisings today with my Najade as it was very very fine weather and rather warm in the afternoon
reaching 13 degrees C !! with less wind from the north.
1;1.2m/s wind
2;Due north
3/4; Boating site for today
5; Ready !
6;Yachtting group
7;Shall I start ?
8;Waxing effect as expected !!
9;New service table
-
Well then, I'll attach here the vivid moving scenes of my Najade under ideal weather with the wind speed at
around 1.5m/s or so from the north. !!! :-)) :-)) :-))
1;Ready !
2;Started smoothly this day as usual ! :-))
3;The draining of cooling water could easily be seen from this distance and angle as it was well done at starboard. :-))
This kind of water draining scenes could never be seen before I had cleaned the cooling water tubes up in the hull this time
in the 6 years of sailing after commissioned. :-)) {-) {:-{ :embarrassed:
4;Take a look at the draining water that is so vivid and long by which both motor and 150A ESC could be well cooooled
leaving Nooooo heat around them at all. They were too cold right after each sailing. :-)) :-)) :-))
5; Leaving so looonnnng a wake.... :-)) Perhaps, she could draw a gigantic circle clearly on the water easily. :-)) O0 %%
6/7/8/9; Najade sailing gracefully and vividly under very fine weather and water with no algae at all though chilly. {-) O0
10; Joyful skipper of this day with the satisfactory performance by his Najade. {-) {-) {-) {-) {-)
Are you enjoying the mid-winter sailing ..?? Of course, not normally... !? ??
Too chilly outdoors ? Everything is now frozen heavily in your region ?.... {:-{ <:(

A video is one of the most useful to represent how a running model boat is actually done so vividly on the water as
compared with a still images of them. Standing on this point of view, I normally make it a practice to record a video
and check it later if something strange should take place in the sailing boat. O0
The following video is fundamentally OK except a very slight strange sound for a second that the camera woman heard in the midst of the video and shouted "I heard the sound" at the moment, though I did not notice the sound at all to such an extent
that it was so subtle.... {-) %% {:-{ :o

Oh,Yes certainly !!

Lovely to see Najade back on the water. I’ve been away from here for a while but catching up on MBM.

Hi Stuw,
I'm so glad to be able to read your comment on my RC boat at the same time to know that you have come back again to this wonderful world of model hobby forum. :-)) O0
I am currently working on 1/8 RC jeep wrangler rubicon unlimited to get it ready to make a first trial run for about 5km(3.1miles).
What are you doing with your model hobby....?

My model boat work is unfortunately not happening at the moment. I’m too busy with other things but COVID restarted my interest that I had left alone for many years. Now we’re back to normality I don’t have the time to set aside yet but I’ve been looking at boats on eBay etc. usually looking to obtain some Lesro models of old.
I really enjoy seeing all the hard work put in by everyone on here though! I shall start again but don’t know when yet!
