Hello gang;
I Will be at Toogood Pond in Markham on Monday, Labour Day from 2-4.
Should you desire to join me or give sailing a try, sailboats are available.
See you there!

Hey @GuyOReilly

Do the rental sailboats have a "return to home" program if the TX dies?!!

@Andy Hoffer :
The TX does not and will not die.
The RX on the other hand...

Fun time was had by most.
Jan had a problem with his speedboat; it remained sunbathing on its back.
Paul demonstrated great skills at sailing.  His Starlet is coming along nicely (we would like pictures, please).
Andy, well, what can I say, he was just floating his boat/plane/ground effects thing and was a great Ambassador for TEMAC.  He mentioned something about right of way and some such, but I was not paying too much attention. I am told that a video and some pictures are going to be posted shortly.  Thank you Andy, I think...

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

My sides are aching (just like the sides of my Robbe Gemini Hydroplane, which was unceremoniously rammed by an out-of-control sailboat with sails all in a flap with pond rage!!)

Repairs underway.
This sailboat was taking on water as the deck separated from the hull after 30 or so years of being lifted by the mast and stays.
It will sail again, perhaps next year do to other projects and priorities.
Also the hull need to be completely dry.
I will take that opportunity to revise and solidify the rudder servo location.
