Kermit, as for the ducks, they even had the sense to come out to the boat show at Montrose!
Please take note of our banner in the background.
No Kermit, the Cartela only had one helm position and it was used as a river steamer not a ferry between Hobart & Bellerive. (except when the bridge fell down)
The ferries Rosny, Derwent, and a few others that were used between Hobart & Bellerive had a wheelhouse at each end and never turned around.
As seen in my old model of the Rosny
Kermit, sorry the “Marine Modellers of Tasmania” couldn’t be with you “BLOATERS” today, we were busy entertaining the public at the Montrose Bay Yacht Club wooden and model boat show today and tomorrow.
But it was hard sitting in the warm clubrooms enjoying tea, coffee and a barbecue lunch cooked by the young ladies from the “Wooden Boat Guild”, talking to our fellow modellers and the public including Predator.
I see you had ideal weather for sailing you “A” class but you still managed to break that as well? I believe the comment at 3:23 on your video sums it all up. – “Wet Wild & STUPID”
Here is a quick video from the sensible one’s day,
P.S. Didn’t see any video of your barbecue today?
Well done on the weather Moose, pity about your planes.
As Kermit was missing today, I had to get my camera out of the bag, here is a short video from around the field.
Well done Kermit, nice work, you even got a picture of me pointing to Ian’s plane in the tree just after I landed my Ranger 2400!
I agree Kermit, nice video’s and a good choice of races to start with, makes that 02 look good!
But I do miss the soft focus.
Size doesn’t matter to me, and as there was no wind the “BLOATERS” yachts were like sitting ducks, no fun in that so I left them alone.
But don’t worry I will be back.
Well done Kermit, nice job. But I’m with Tugboat, with all the filming you did today you didn’t you didn’t get the one and only crash!
I’m ready for tomorrow, I have modified the frog catcher as Tugboat suggested and fitted a few big sharp hooks to it.
P.S. thanks for the special mention at the end of the video.
