We've all done that sort of thing, Ian, 😁, I've got to the flying field or pond on numerous occasions, only to find I've brought the wrong battery, (or forgotten it) wrong TX (have 2 almost identical HK TXs) forgotten spanners, screw drivers, -you name it.

GRAUPNER OPTIMIST REFITTED, FIRST SAIL IN 22YRS

Finally got a good day, so raced down to the pond and threw the boat in. 2 problems, 1: battery had run down a bit with all the testing, and the new 18kg digital servo winch needed every bit of 4.8v, so functioned intermittently, meaning not much sail control, 2: jib boom needs a kicking strap to stop it 'skying' and tangling (knew it would happen but wasn't a worry). Apart from that, everything worked perfectly ( cheapo China Futaba knock -off rudder servo still worked fine on the low battery which is a bonus)

Sailed brilliantly like it did over 40 yrs ago, and as it's set will sail hands off on a reach, being nicely balanced, (even with the crappy jib,- which I had to make,- well actually my mother made for me,- back in 1980 after the original was stolen by a kid at the beach, while my back was turned😠) Funnily enough it was made on the same Bernina I used to sew (horrendously) the jib foot after trimming it for the boom a few days ago.

A few more things to improve and add, but pleased to have it back on the water. Another crap video, -seems to get blurry once it's been through the movie editor and You tube ) One day santa might bring me a Gopro, ("yeah right"!)

JB,

Looks like a perfect day. I find sailing very relaxing and quiet, with no engine/motor noise. Can be quite challenging though, especially when you need to bring it back in to the dock.

Hi the Graupner yachts are the best, I have a Gracia and she sails very nicely and such a pleasure to watch. She had a small change last year to the servos and works for ever on a 4 AA cell pack 2300mAh. I have a little less sail area and have a sail servo the same size as a standard servo and this copes OK.
regards Roy

My yellow boat was a couple of seconds in front of the action so didn’t get involved. First time for a long time we have had 3 of the same boat on the lake. So 10 mins of ‘competitive’ fun. And we didn’t lose any cameras off boatswhich sometimes happens. 😁 Yeah pity about the shows... always looked forwards to them. 😔 SMBC has stopped sailing now till we see how Govt guidelines change, so time to do some repairs etc. Will post some video of my RAF Firefloat- you haven’t seen that. It is 99% finished. 😉

R/C Cam Boats

Using the Hobbyking Swamp Dawg as a platform for my Gopro action camera.
Managing slide, drift and wind rotation was a challenge in varying conditions, to help tame the beast we tried a few basic options !.
