    Yeah!

    Ian, it’s at Droughty Point, the land is privately owned and is about to be subdivided. Also, there is no vehicle access and nowhere to park, the road is very narrow.

    To top it off, there is a couple of trenches running parallel with the road making foot access difficult.

    Sorry, I forgot to mention NO fees or donations required on the good side of the bay!

    Yes, it’s the newer version, I was going to try it on the yacht (and other things)

    Good to see you entertaining my pet Plover’s I sent over.

    The one I got is the Insta360 X2. The main reasons are size and it’s waterproof to 10 metres.

    I didn’t have it mounted correctly on Saturday, just a temporary mount. I also had the seam line in the wrong position.

    As for the video editor, you have to use theirs, it’s the only one that can read the files. but it seems pretty good and easy to use,

    Who is this using Kermit’s name?

    The real Kermit would never say nice things about me or my video’s.

    P.S. I did try to sink a couple of them, just edited that bit out.

    No, Kermit not cold at all. It was a beautiful balmy spring day down at sunny Forcett Lakes.

    It was a great day, Good to see the old boats out in such numbers.

    Well done to Peter Webberley on setting it all up, and also winning the regatta.

    Don’t forget the money for the take-off and landing fees!

    They look just like the bought ones.

    And you didn’t have to wait on the postage!

    in reply to: Cougar Cat #12046

    It’s certainly a completely different set of skills than the old days!

    Now most of the work is in the design stage, and just let the printer do its thing.

    Hope you are having a good time in Europe with Kermit

    in reply to: Cougar Cat #12033

    Yes Mike, the detail you can get is amazing,

    Just messy stuff to play with.

    in reply to: Cougar Cat #11957

    After seeing the great fittings Mike has made for the opposition media boat ” Double Trouble” I thought it’s about time I did something for “Sinker Two”

    Onto the computer and tried out a different 3D modelling software called “OnShape”. A few hours later I had some 3D drawings.

          

    Got the Anycubic SLA printer ready with some black resin and a after a few more hours I had some parts to play with.

    For the hatches I used some 1mm clear plastic covered with a dark window tint, and the bollards I taped out the hole in the bottom and glued in a 3mm stud.

    Installed hatches using a laser cut plywood jig to align it with the depressions in the moulding.

    And bow roller and bollards installed.

     

    Next job will be the cabin windows.
