Shannon class lifeboat
« on: August 06, 2020, 10:03:49 pm »

Bonjour ,


New on the forum I would like to build a lifeboat.


End of next week I 'm going to get hull , deck and wheelhouse for a 1/16 shannon class lifeboat purchased on ebay .
   - What type of jet drive to install 28mm or 24mm ocean work .
   - Where to find a general arrangement for that life boat .

I would start by studying this...   https://www.panopticmotion.co.uk/virtual-tour/ilfracombe-rnli-virtual-tour/
There are no publically available plans, but the are a numbers of Shannon build threads on this site and it is also worth checking "RNLI Shannon modellers" on Facebook.

The 28mm is used on 1:12 Shannon.
I have no experience of the 1:16 model but would conclude that 24mm is the better option

I will follow your conclusion and I will order 2 ocean works jet drive 24 mm . I also think that for a boat of 82 cm long it is the right solution . I have  2 brusless 1450kv and 2 esc 80A who are waitting for .

As you will by necessity have to scratch build very many of the parts for your build you might find the forum resident MBD Shannon builds a useful resource

My own build 1:12 is on hold for a while as it is so all consuming and I've built two more boats in a relatively short period. Consider any Shannon as a long  job.

Hello ,


    After ten days , my order of shannono 1/16 finally arrived without any damage . The packaging was perfect . Now I have just to find some pictures to go on the building process . I find the modification set for the stern of the weelhouse a bit heavy and I am surprised that the fender set is made of moulded resin and not rudder .

You will need to modify the hull bottom if you are using OceanWorks drives. The recesses are no good for anything but Speedline drives
I suggested to Tony that he modifies the hull plugs but no response

The original Speedline rubber fenders were replaced by the resin version because the moulds were quickly damaged by the high temperatures needed to cast the rubber fenders. 

 The aft bulkhead/bridge is heavy, but it presents no stability problems with such a large hull.
Before anything else, install the jetdrives and fit out the hull with the engineering and electronics that will control the model; that is a more complex task than you imagine

Hello kinmel ,


      Thank you for the explanationon the use of resin for the fenders .


       I can imagine the complexity of the work for the installation of the jets drive , because I have already installed schttels with a 360° rotation on an ASD tugboat .

That is the Pantone colour set for use only in publications, they are not the colours used on the Lifeboats.

Hello ,


    I have never used brushless motors as well as ESC , and on my shelfI have 2 brushless motors and 2 ESC here in photo . Can I use them to motorize my 1:16 shannon with 3S lipo .

That would give you over 18,000 rpm which is more than adequate on 1:12 but I have no experience of 1:16


I would say they are physically oversize. Normally on 1:12 we use 3542
