Commodore's Challenge

 Commodore's Challenge - 2022

The Commodore has issued his Challenge for this year.

You are challenged to build a 'Club 300' electric racing boat. This is basically a Club 500 type boat, but with a smaller motor and standard, non-racing, propellor.

All entries are to be built to a single design, the plans for which have been drawn by John Goddard. Free plans will be supplied on request.

Basic Specifications are:

Single design - Must be built to hull outline of supplied plans.

Brushed motor - size not to exceed 380.

Propellor - standard 3 blade, 35 mm diameter maximum.

Battery - 7.2 V maximum, NiMH

John Goddard has built a prototype, which he will demonstrate at the next Club night on February 09, and also offer advice on construction, and tips on how to achieve the best performance.

Judging will take place on a date to be determined later in the year, but not before the middle of August, so you have plenty of time to get building.

The Commodore's Challenge Trophy will be awarded by the Commodore for the best entry, based on build quality, finish, sailing performance and 'Wow' factor.
