Yesterday at the lake my son and I had the maiden voyage of his nearly finished project the fishing trawler "Maggie M"
If you would like to see his project from box to on the water you can follow it on
He had a successful launch and had a bottle of champers to celebrate the occasion,
There was only a slight snag when the boat seemed to loose power and after it was brought in by the rescue boat it was found to have a plastic bag wrapped round the kort nozzle and prop, once that was removed it was off on the water again, had a good turn of speed and the turning circle was superb has its got a Becker Rudder as standard, not quite finished yet as John has a bit more detailing to put on so watch the link at Model Boat Mayhem.

Terry was at the lake to-day (Sunday) with the "Beady Eye" mentioned in the last post, and what a little mover that is, could only open it up so far as the lake isn't big enough to open her up all the way, but a beautiful modelled boat and a credit to Terry's workmanship.

Other points are that its nearly time for the coach trip to Warwick and there are still places on the coach so if you are going and haven't booked yet phone Mike Now on 0161 336 0306, you can see him at the next club meeting, if you can't make that, ( don't forget its Auction night) then you can pay on the coach, but book now!! £18!! you can't buy the petrol for that!!.
Chris has had his Knee operation and I'm sure you will join me in wishing him a speedy recovery.
