This is what really happened.
I called into the “BLOATER’s” just to say hello, and as soon as I got there it was obvious that Kermit was struggling with his old “A” Class yacht, after sailing 65’s the size and weight of the “A” was to much for him. In a panic he threw his transmitter at me and yelled out HELP!
So being the nice person I am, I took control of the “A” while he ran off into the bushes? After a while he returned and I gave him some expert tips on how the yacht should be set-up. I also found that the transmitter had flat batteries in it. (This could be why he is always running into others). So after my good deed, I said farewell to everyone and left.
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.
