Hello folks I've got a Gremlin.
« on: November 08, 2007, 09:05:15 am »

Hi Just thought I would say hello.
I have done a bit of model boating, mostly electric.
I am just sorting out a Gremlin sailing boat (I bought it at the BMFA nationals a couple of years ago, and I have been told that it is built from plans in Model boat magazine (MM1505)), and I was advised to come onto this forum as I have no experiance of sailing boats.
I have plenty of access to water, I live on a narrow boat on the river Cam between Cambridge and Ely.
Am I allowed to link to other forums? as I have posted pictures on RCgroups Sailboats section.

Hi punkie
I'm sure there are plenty of people who can help you on this site, but a practical demonstration can often be better that hundreds of words.
There is a model boat club at Cambridge, they sail regularly and there is another club sails at Peterborough http://www.pambc.org.uk
I have visited both and found them friendly (they didn't throw me in the lake ;D) and the guys at Peterborough were very helpful
Good luck with your sailing
Cheers Telstar
