John Richardson - My Fleet |
I have a number of boats and
photographs, in particular my RC Sailing boat about 1 metre long
constructed to own design from kitchen cabinets and broomstick ! Cheap
enough for a good sailing cruiser. Would this be of interest on Mayhem - ( Yes! All types of boat welcome. Mayhem) Regards and best wishes. John |
I should
say that I am a ' loner ' aged 75. I sail my boats on Penn Pond and the
Wycombe Dyke often |

The launch is a Sea Hornet kit
started 40 years ago, now fitted with a 540 motor it planes happily on a
freshly charged battery. |
RAF Crash Tender |
The crash tender is an
Aerokits kit built 40 years ago and now being refitted, as I remember it
the kit cost £3-7-6d (£3.37). All my models employ 6V gel batteries
although I am going to 12V for the crash tender. I also sail 2 x metre sailers both RC ( Cruising models, scratch built ) I chose to build these and sail them (RC) in the way most typical of the real thing. As a full size sailor, I don't much like the way a lot of sailing models tear about in non-scale fashion. I have a Clyde Puffer which was kit built and languished in a friends wardrobe for 10years before being gifted to me. This as with all the other models is fitted with electronic speed control. It performs beautifully on a 480 motors and is the favourite of the waterside folk. |
