I hope to get time off to walk my dog down to the end of the pier over the weekend, and watch some of your racing. :-))

Yes, come and say hello - if you see anyone with an "OMRA 85" cap on, just walk up and say "you are Danny the Bear from Mayhem and here is your £10 prize"
 {-) {-) {-) {-) %%

(but preferrably when I'm not racing - some things are worth more than money  :-)) %) )

So I just say "Hello Danny the bear" and get £10.00. Hum sound to easy ???  Then I will have to give you it back to pay you for pitting for me.
Thanks for the invite to use to pool on the pier. You do know Gas Springer has got a 23cc Strimmer engine in it? However It dose go real slow or eles it tends to dive. But it dose run on 2.4 Ghz so will be fine radio wise. See you there. Got to load up the Caravan (1st outing for me & the wife) Thurs night. Sould be fun??? M25 friday afternoon with a 22ft caravan behind :-)) :-)) :-))

NEARLY right Bill, - read it again...   ok2 {-) {-)

You're thinking of the old Daily Mirror "Chalky White" competition where the winners were GIVEN the money (or you may not be that old!!)  ;D

Good luck with the 22 ft "shoebox"

After finding my way to this forum, i'd like to present my almost finished Springer on his second test drive.

Here on a rescue mission:

At least I don't know any other Springer here ;)
But already some of my friends want to build one too :D
I'll take some more pictures as soon as it's painted (not sure yet how I should do it).

A nice build-video from Mexico on www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Pttf0MDWrQ&feature=channel if the link doesnt work try search on youtube for PPsailor.  Two Springer (of course) plus he does some interesting other boats from re-cyclable materials such as bottle boats etc.

I have a query.  On the front page of the mayhem there is a tiny thumbnail of a springer with a warship type structure topside (turrets etc) I skimmed the thread (all 60+ pages...) and couldn't find any info on it.  Does anyone have any more info or pics of the warspringer.

here is an idea a river ironclad for a springer (u.s. civil war time period) not sure if it would work, but since the river ironclads were essentially almost submerged catamarans the topside should work I would think. It wouldn't let me attach a pic but might be interesting to see...here is the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_class_ironclad

I was thinking more like Cairo (pictured on the wiki link) with the bow cut square for the springer shape.

Had A great game of Springer Rugby at the Llanberis weekend. You may be glad to no Nathen your Tug got 3 goals. However when I put Gas Springer in the water most of the other Tugs had no chance. It was then decided that it was time to pull Stav around in the rescue boat. I'm sure someone will have some photo's. After tea I put on a larger prop and pulled the rescue boat with me and the radio in it. Good fun??

Something of a change!
I decided that I would have something a bit different for my springer and came up with this!!
A Choo Choo Puffer Springer %%
I have still got to install the electrics, rudder, prop etc of which I am waiting for (should be here this week), plus the sides but apart from that, its as good as done.
Please excuse the quality of the photos as the camera is on its last legs though when it does get its bottom wet, I should have a better one. :-))
Maybe Toes will come up with a USA style version %%
It could also keep any rivet counters happy :embarrassed: <:(
