Jack, do you have any other RC ship models also? Would love to see them.

I have a $50 RC fire boat.

[Capt. Matt]

I have a 35 MPH speedboat with 2 engines  I scare the ducks away and I got yelled at by a park ranger for using it in a pond in the park lol

Is it a gas or battery.

[Capt. Matt]

Battery a big battery  I have 2 only downside with fast RC boats, no reverse so forward forward forward CRAAASSSSSSHHHHHHH

[Minime]

I do have a model of the tug Irishman/Yourkshireman, it's a building set, but it's not togetter yet, I might try to put it togetter over the summer vacation.

My RC boat does't have reverse too.

[Capt. Matt]

Hehe it can be a downside I find that rudders seem to be my downside they add to the draft
The hull has a few dents hehe at  a boatshow in the marina near us there was a nitro boat that was 5 feet long remote control and went 70 mph that would be used in the river (I think) It was a salt water boat its name was XXX usually known from the larger 45 ft version Tripple X

my boat has capsize when the wind has got it.

[Capt. Matt]

Does the fireboat shoot water because I was going to get one like that but instead I got the fast speed boat put a gun on the front and then it is a fishing boat

No it does't shoot water.

[Capt. Matt]

That stinks what is a fireboat that doesnt shoot water Lets Put out the fire with the exhaust from our engine

Hi DIAMANT,

These are quite old pics.

First one: My 61 year old Thames Tug. (Restoration)
Second: NY Harbour Tug
Third: My Schooner.
Fourth: Hibernia













Jack
p.s. pics of show to come.

[Cat320DL]

Yes nice models jack.

[IRI5HJ4CK]

Nice fleet, Jack!   Thanks for pictures.

Is the Schooner also a RC model or just a "free sailing"?

She's also RC But obviously, dosen't need a big 12/6 Volt battery to power her (Unlike my tugs). Just four (In a holder) AA Rechargables for the Servo.

Thanks for the comments hehe.

Jack.

[Capt. Matt]

wow cool a NY Harbour tug eh... I cant say anything about the old ones cause I wasnt around to see them but now Cool Models jack so do you make them yourself or just put thm together?

[Capt. Matt]

To add I dont think we have ever gone so off topic from trucks to boats to RC to RC boat models 

[IRI5HJ4CK]

So you can set sails on her with RC?  Sounds interesting.

Well, generally, with the Schooners, no. Since there is no need, though, on racing Schooners, for a more efficient run, you can set the sails.

With the schooner, it's all about the zig zag pattern, unlike a motor boat, you cannot go straight ahead, but a Zig Zag Pattern insted.

I'm not clued up 100% on Sailing though, I'm more a tug person myself

Jack.
