Tony,

That brings back a few memories. Sailed there a few times as guest of Fred Wood. Is he still there?

Barry,

There's a name from the past. I haven't seen sight or sound of him for a while, having said that I am not the most regular attending member. Do you remember the fabulous 'Titanic' which he built. It was a featured item in a newspaper, when on its maiden voyage it lost control and ran into some overhanging 'weeping willow' branches on the opposite side of the lake before hitting the concrete bank. Fortunately the damage was not to severe, and Fred ironed out the snags. This was a fabulous model and I managed to snap the camera. Somewhere I still have this pic and I will post when found.

Do you remember the previous club which sailed either vane or braine racing yachts, before the days of r/c? This was before the 1960's, and the concrete banks where made.

Tony.

Hi Tony,

I do remember Fred's Titanic but am much too young to remember pre 1960's.......

For me Fred's best was his scratch built "Yamato". An incredible model built by a great man...

I would love to see some piccies of that Titanic..

This is a photo of our lake, in Ballina, northern NSW, taken during our annual regatta back in June 2005. A beautiful winter's day.

This is Tiger Hole just up the road from where I live, one of four lakes that I sail within 7km of my home. Taken yesterday afternoon during our first break from the rainy & windless days we've been seeing for the past few weeks. Another Tiger, who happens to moderate this forum, can attest to the weather we've had lately..

Best part of this location is that its in the local Sofitel resort & the management has no problem with us using their lake - yesterday I trooped through their conference center past dozens of bemused onlookers carrying my sailboat & a submarine to the car park.

We typically sail off their cafe's deck where we enjoy FB service - not quite as charming as West Lake's tea houses, but the food is better.

Helou from Nordic

Below of 2 ponds we normally use in winter time, Pickala pond and Deepthroat Pond. Both them are winter swimming places, so stream water by pumps, keeping it open for us very well!

It looks like a very nice lake. Curiosity gets the better of me. What is the line 2/3 across from the left? I thought it might be a power cable but I can't see any pylons etc.

Cheers

Drifters Lake. Shepton Mallet. UK

A few photos. Lake and a few boats.
This is our lake/pond and it is set in a really nice park.
Had a bit of floating weed, but it was a lovely sunny day.
Well we did have a couple this year. Sonic.

Absolutely magnificent, Stavros, but not a good place to sink

BTW, which lake is it?

Peter.

Doug 99, if you're there, those lines you see in this one are power lines.

Hi John , we are down at the pond every saturday , morning for a tidy up and afternoon for a sail although there are some of us that use it during the week when its quieter and there are no critical eyes , sometimes boats do go wrong

.
All visitors are welcome but children must be acompanied for safety reasons etc , if your motor is a big rig then you can even park it along the road ,most of the drivers do overnight without problems .
