Sunny Sunday, 8.5.2016.

Today at the lake it was a beautiful sunny day and the was no shortage of public watchers with their usual questions "how fast will it go!" and "how much does it cost", still that's how we all started I suppose!.

David was there as usual with one of his large fleet, and there's Eric "What No boat!", though he did have his Fiesta out earlier, but quickly recovered it when a young family came sailing with the usual energetic children sailing a bit erratically!.

Eric and Dave.

Can tell its getting warmer, David dispenses with his socks!.

There was Donald bookended by the Higham brothers,

Alan on the left was sailing another of his fleet a nice Fibre Glass launch , 

A nice little runner and so quiet it didn't even disturb the ducks,

And its for sale, the boat not the Duck!,

Nice compact water tight compartment, competent with all the electrics and battery.

 

Comes ready to sail with its own 2.4 gig transmitter as well, just charge the batter and away you go!.

Check out the "For Sale" section tab at the top of the page"!.

About 14 inches long and not too heavy, so ideal for the older or infirm sailor!.

Happy families!

The ducks seem to have got used to the anti duck strings, but there again it was the Geese that were the problem with their poo!, the ducks seem to be toilet trained.

Al the Comm would like to thank Ray Benson and members of the Colwyn Bay Club for their nice offer to let our club members use their waters when in the area, as stated in the previous post.

Update on Colwyn Bay club.

Update on Colwyn Bay club.

Been in contact with Ray Benson over the last few days, the older members will remember him as being one of our old members until he emigrated to Wales and put his expertise into the committee of the Colwyn Bay Model Boat Club.

As some of you have been to their Open Days over the years, but you perhaps will not have known that they are eventually going to lose their present lake, but are going to move to the Bigger lake in the park!,

Here it the latest news from Ray.

Our lake in Eirias park (the new one) will be officially opened at 6pm on May 10th. We still have the existing lake fòr another 12 months. This lake is ideal for yachts because there is no trees near. When completed later this year it will have seating all around and is still free to sail on, no restrictions but cars to be on free car park, access via the prom. The lake is equipped with an underwater ultrasonic device to kill weeds! All paid for by landfill grants thanks to our Secretary, Alan.

Send you some pics when opened.

All the best  Ray Benson.

I for one will be going down for the day soon to check it out. No doubt have an Ice Cream on the front as well!

Duckie.

Meanwhile back at our lake this week has seen a couple of new boats on the scene.

This Banana Boat, the Fyffes Special?.

And this nice trimaran 

Perhaps not so nice!, but has a handy helper to run round to rescue it.

There was John Goddard, who told me a friend had given him four Marines from a charity shop, so of course John just had to build them a fast patrol boat, and as you all know Johns boats are FAST. 

Here is his "Hydra" which you will all have seen but its still a nice boat to watch and always creates a lot of interest, Johns reckons it's 35 years old! and still running great.
