Sunday 5th July       Marple Lock Festival

The past week at the lake.

After the Fiesta racing on the first Sunday of the month, as you will see Charlie and Rob got their fast boats out and had a good run round the lake without having to worry about hitting anyone, but wouldn't you know it, they hit each other!.

Still no harm done only a blown fuse on Rob's big yella un!.

In the week met Lawrence trying out his new built yacht, built from a hull he had bought from a stranger who had arrived at the lake one day wanting to sell some boats and hull's found in his deceased fathers house.

Nice job Lawrence!.

Today (Monday 15th) there were some members doing a clean up on the Landing Stage.

Trevor an Ex decorator was using his expertise  painting, on the boat house and topbox

Paint the same colour as on the container we bought some time ago. 

Under the benches were scrapped out and then Jet Washed

Nice and clean now

 Then a couple of the lads moved over to the container and installed electric's in there, will be able to see in the winter evenings now to get the equipment out!.

Al the Electric!.

New signs have been ordered to go on the benches to remind everyone to use the frequency board unless they are on 2.4 ghz, temporary ones put in place until they arrive.

Good job fellers, hope its appreciated by all!.

 She said her husband Tom was a model husband.

Mind you he wasn't a working model!..

Frequency Board!.

 Will sailors if they are not on 2.4 ghz please check with others or use the frequency board before launching their boats,this is important!, it's on your membership form and on the cards provided, failure to do this can lead to serious problems.

 Al the comm!.

With the speed of brushless motor driven boats these days, someone else driving your boat on the same frequency as you doesn't bear thinking about!, someone else might be thinking the same as you, "everyone is on 2.4 ghz these days so I don't need to bother with the frequency board" don't ass-u-me! you can see what that spells as well.

Duckie.

Here endeth the lesson.

................................................................

Talking of fast boats here is the latest build from Alan Higham, here in the week to test it.

Turned out to be a little down in the nose at speed, a little bit of lead in the back sorted that out. 

As its built of balsa wood, it's very light and the strong winds we have been having lately was blowing it about all over the place.

By the way it's driven by a brushless fan!, can't wait to see it go when the conditions are more favourable

Looks good on the water, but as I said under power it tended to dig it's nose in, soon sorted by

 Team Higham.

On the work front

Mike was at it again with his tool box out, fitting an angle iron strip under the new ramp, always makes a good job of anything he does, doesn't he!.

Al the Comm, supervising and visualising someone on the same frequency coming up that ramp with someone else's boat at speed and taking my hat off!.
