Good morning;
Here is a general invitation for those interested in model sailboats and other electric model boats.
On Monday June 17, 2024 at 14:00 (that is 2:00 pm by the way) Admiral of the TEMAC Fleet (me) will be bringing 2 sailboats and a small flotilla to Toogood Pond for an afternoon of joyful merriment - no matter the weather.
Transmitters are available should you wish to give it a try and sail one of my sailboats.
Here is a video taken recently when sailing with Bill Q (
@Wingnutz ) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPDx5tDLnF0&feature=youtu.be
Rear-Admiral
@Frank v B will also attend the event.
No reservation required.
Location: Main Street Unionville, parking available on Carlton Street.

Hope to see you there!
Admiral of TEMAC Guy O'Reilly
Wow! Here's an incentive! If I can get my hull ready in time I'll come and test float my PT boat!
Hope the PT boat has depth charges incase Frank has any subs skulking in the weeds!
I'm in.
Paul
I should be there by 2 pm.
If you have never sailed a boat, feel free to borrow mine and get a chance at the sticks.
Hope to see you there.
Frank
Sounds great Frank. Will try to get there.
No fun was had, at all!
Thank you
@sihinch for the pictures.
I had a great time. ;D
I'll try to get some videos uploaded too.
It was almost too good! ;D
No wonder it was quieter than usual at the field!
Looks great... a little flotilla!
Some photos.

Searching through plans. 🧐

I have full size plans for a sailboat from here http://www.bearospaceindustries.com/boats2.html
Good morning;
AHOY SAILORS and wannabe sailors;
Monday June 24, 2024 at approximately 14:00 (that is 2:00 pm by the way) Admiral of the TEMAC Fleet (me) will be bringing 2 sailboats - the weather forecast is favourable.
The water level at the pond may be high due to recent rain.
Algae may form and I suggest you wash you hands frequently, yukky water.
Perhaps
@sihinch will bring his newest creation for sea trials. (no pressure) ;D
Rear-Admiral
@Frank v B will also attend the event.

Admiral of TEMAC Guy O'Reilly
I would absolutely love to come but sadly I have a clash! I'm so sorry. I really wanted to sail again.
I'm even contemplating buying my own sailboat.
Looks like a sunny day with 22 kph winds and gusts up to 40 kph.
May need to pull in a reef or two!
Be there around 2:00
PG
Will drop by at 2:00.
Frank
Well my meeting was cancelled last minute so I did manage to make it! Another beautiful day at the pond!
Thank you Guy for letting me sail your boat.
I'll not mention the bit where Frank and Guy did a tango from one side of the lake to the other.
Great many thanks to Paul for his selfless effort and dip in the lake to free them from the Tango-of-Death.
This is a quick video (20 some odd seconds) that shows how bad the water is.

You can also see Frank's boat fleeing in the distance.
Tango schmango*.
It was a nice day. Lots of wind...in spots.
Guy, Paul, Simon H. and I had a great time.
Frank
* my main sheet got caught in Guy's rigging (grappling hook) and the boats were stuck together. We sailed them to the other side. Paul ran across, went in knee deep, disconnected the boats and allowed us to sail home in one piece.
Is this available anytime, I have a couple of boats. One that I need to finish.
Everybody is welcome
@Crash !
We usually meet on Monday at approximately 2:00 pm when the weather is good (I do not usually go if it rains).
This Monday being Canada Day, I will not be there, but the following week yes.
Guy
I will try to make it
