Inverleith Park Boating Pond
Inverleith Pond was constructed as a model boating pond in the 1890's. It has a puddle clay base and a surrounding tarmac walkway with several concrete jetties where Club members tend to congregate. The pond covers an area of 7,500 square metres - roughly 150 metres long by 50 metres wide. The sloping bank in the foreground was once a bird sanctuary and it is believed that the birds that sought refuge here may have brought over the seeds that today cause a seasonal Canadian Pondweed problem.
The pond is approximately 2 feet deep at its edges increasing to about 3 feet in the middle - 'wader depth'.
Model Boating has always featured strongly and records exist of clubs operating here from the early 1900's, with powered model boats reported to have been operating as far back as the 1920's.

With over 3075 T37 Racing Sloops sailing across the world, T37 fleets have emerged around the US to bring like-minded sailors and racers together for competitive and fun racing! Whether match-racing with just two boats or sailing with 20 others, T37 sailing is fun for sailors of all ages and experiences.
Some of the biggest T37 fleets are located in the Pacific Northwest; one of the fastest growing of these fleets is the Port Townsend, Washington fleet. Since its formation only a few years ago, the fleet has grown from zero boats to 43 boats.
Because the T37 Racing Sloop is a one-design class, sailors do not have to buy expensive boats or fancy sails to 'get an edge'; instead, T37 racing is about strategy and model boat racing skills.

My wife's family came to visit us from out of state. On Saturday we all visited the North Carolina Maritime Museum at Southport. They had a large display of model boats and ships. The primitive boat was the first one I noticed in the display.
Operation Pluto (Pipe-Lines Under The Ocean) was a Second World War operation by British engineers, oil companies and armed forces to construct undersea oil pipelines under the English Channel between England and France in support of Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944.
When I go yachting at the boat pond, South Lake Union, it soon becomes clear that my boat is community property. How can I say, "don't touch" when the kiddies have taken charge to cast-off my fine vessel with such enthusiasm. Its best to just remain sitting at the bench as though this boat has no owner.
The RNLI Dún Laoghaire Lifeboat Station had their Open Day for the public on Sunday 22 July 2012. The RNLI Sea Safety Roadshow was on hand along with members of the Irish Model Boat Club who displayed their lovely hand made model boats. The Irish Coast Guard and the Customs Dog Unit were also along to help support the day. There was also face painting and RNLI goodies for everyone. The public had the opportunity to talk to the Lifeboat crew and to get onboard the RNLB Anna Livia which was berthed alongside the Station for the event.

A very detailed Billings Boats kit which looks great on the water.( I had one myself many years ago which gave me much pleasure both during the build and for many sailing outings.) www.flickr.com/photos/crack-one/6672685857/

My Australian-built RC model of the preserved Norwegian coastal steamer, had another workout on the Wollondilly recently.
Like the lower cabin, the bottom of the wheel house is concave to match the curvature of the deck it attaches to.
The standing rigging of the foremast and bowsprit are now complete. Next come the spar braces between mainmast and foremast. The ropes to the stern rail are temporary.
The lower cabin deck surface has been painted. Next step is to expose the wheel house doors for an application of dark brown paint.

A series of pics to show that I am slowly getting there with my 1/12th scale model of the 47ft Watson Class lifeboat. Still a very long way to go, and I haven't really started on the hull and running gear yet. Compare with the real thing
