One coat of epoxy on the Rowing Skiff.
Changed from using 3/32 as this was too rigid and could not bend for the sides.
I found some veneer hiding under my workbench for some 12 or so years.
Details to be added as well as painting, should look the part.

Kenny and I were finishing up flying today and the most vivid, largest rainbow I've ever seen appeared.  I've don't think I've ever seen a full, end to end rainbow... and at the south end there were 2 rainbows... something else I've never seen.  Just beautiful.

Thank you for the pictures Frank.
The blue sailboat is actually a Kyosho Fairwinds.
The name came with the boat...  ???

My guess is that the « flag » sailboat, a Starlet, will be ready by next week for its first sail since major repairs, fingers crossed.

Showing a skeleton, a dead Navy pilot, in a crashed Navy plane on your lawn?  With thousands of Navy men and women defending Israel right now, right this minute, you feel this is a good use of your "juicy scavenged bits" and "RC gems"?

General Discussion / Toogood pond- Monday, Oct.7 2...

We dropped by Toogood Pond this afternoon.  Boats and people who showed up:
- Guy with his North Star (blue) sailboat.
- Paul with his Coast Guard utility boat.
- Andy with his floaty flying thing.
- Jan with two of his high speed but small rescue boats.
- I brought my sailboat and a 32" destroyer.  The destroyer's first float in about 20 years.  I counted the dust rings. ;)

The strong but swirly winds were great for the sailboats.  A gust blew the balsa deck top off my destroyer. 3 boats did their work to push it back into the launch area.

Photo report:
57- Action shot of Guy sailing.
58- Paul with his powered utility boat.
61- Andy's floaty/flying thing in the foreground, Guy's blue hulled sailboat (white sail) and my small sailboat (coloured sail).
62- Guy bailing his sailboat over Andy's head.
66- Paul, Guy and Andy just before we left.

Nice day!

Every Schooner needs a dory/tender.
The parts are cut out from 3/32 balsa.
The plans calls for 1/32 veneer, but I had none, so....
Next will be bending the sides and gluing.
