Here is my video of the Sterling American Scout, Under way for the first time in 50 years. Powered by a dumas 6 volt electric motor and a 1957 Babcock citizenship all tube radio. the predisessor of RC.

Here is my 1918 EFC Cargo Steamer the theodore Ferris S.S. MOJAVE.

First trials of freshly restored 1970s Aerokits Swordsman rescued as a wreck from ebay (I was the only bidder it looked so bad....!) earlier this year. Was diesel powered and had loads of lead ballest glassed into hull which had to be cut out and replaced with new ply with the rest of the structure lightened and stiffended with new ply. Now fitted with Turnigy 600 Typhoon Brushless and 90A Seawing ESC and 55 min Graupner prop. Handling is excellent and turns really well using a small size Graupner rudder with fast acting large angle Hobbywing servo. Joined my collection of 34 and 46 Fireboats, Sea Hornet, Sea Queen and Commander, all restored over the past 3 years. Aerokits have come into their own with clean and quiet brushless power we could not dream of in the 1960s

A short video of my car boot RIB at Crealy, Exeter yesterday

Yeoman Minx and Wavemaster restored by Kalamunda, filmed at Crealy near Exeter. These boats were originall produced by HMM and were, I think, designed by Les Rowell in the fifties.
The boats were found on ebay and brought back to life.

This was the first try at driving by my 8 year old grandson Lenny and only the second time the boat has been in the water.
