Summer has come early!
The following excellent photos are by Fred Ellis - enjoy!
....and then a few by me
Gerry added a rudder to his boat but couldn't compete on the day
The 22 competitors
The race track made by Bill
Initially tried 3 at a time but it was too difficult to get them all going at once
It's not just gaslighting - it really did happen!
Device made by Mark to collect floating debris. The pond pump rotates the pond water. Putting this in the flow catches the debris.... do you get my drift?
Malcolm's Brave Borderer
a detailed model
full of electronics
An 8 inch yacht ready for the next month
