Yes I guess that it might have been a bit difficult. Never mind, it is good to chat with you through this website if that is all we have available at present (barring Star Trek Transporters!!!).

But most of all good fun 😊
This model took me 3 years. Copper plated the hull panel by panel. Even found a crew for her, then added an RC and took her to the lake.
She sailed well, but my enthusiasm to leave the gun ports open cost me dear. The water got in the hull and knocked out the RC, leaving her listing and drifting some way from shore.
Salvation came in the shape of a 10 year son of a friend, who strip to his underwear and swam out to rescue her!
Now she sits retired in a glass case.
You should have modeled either Wassa or Mary Rose! They both made the same mistake!
If you don't want to close your gunports, give her some flotation balloons below deck. Shame to have such a beautiful model as display only.
I found the basic boat, a Keil Kraft Sea Rover, in an old second hand shop some years ago, and decided to put her back together. Couldn't resist adding some figures to the deck, even a pair of binoculars.
I added a RC motor and took her to a nearby boating lake. Used a couple of times before retiring to the loft for the last 10 years.
Recently took her out and after a bit of polish and oil for the pro shaft, she's running well.
My question is, does anyone know what's she's worth?
this is my latest purchase a member of Tynemouth yachting club had it on e bay I have been after one for a while now the fun begins I will try & get a video of it on my attempt to sail it
HI All, E.Raymond is 36 inches long x 9 inches beam. She is scratch built, plank on frame with 3mm ply deck. I made her from the Cervia plans and enlarged them to 36 inches. She has a 540 type motor which I rewound with 80 turns of 30swg wire, for more torque. She has a 4 blade prop 60mm diam. and powered by a 6v 4amp SLA battery. I started the build last March, she's not quite finished yet, needs an anchor winch making and a set of tyres on the sides and other small details. I sail her at Holyhead Breakwater Park when I can.
Took inga out last night after years break for her stillest evening we've had for weeks so it mostly motored around the lake! did catch a bit of wind a couple of times.
This video follows on from my earlier post. I changed to running on a 5 cell lipo (18.5 volts) and I am very pleased with the Improvement over 14.4 volts Nicads. (Edit sorry Nimh`s) I put this link into my reply on my previous post but it didnt work as a hotlink so I am posting this.
The boat isnt quite flat out here due to the difficulty videoing and steering.

HI Les
What a bummer. Bread is not good for wildlife and certainly not for props.
Hopefully your motor should be OK as long as the wires are not burnt. if you have a multimeter you could check the insulation between the shaft and each winding using the highest ohms reading. it should be high, if low chances are there is an internal short. A quick check (on a lower ohm reading) between windings should give similar results between every pair, again any variance may indicate an internal short.

I am just building one of these on a wood hull, I notice you are running a single motor. Could you advise what motor you are using plus what prop please? Thanks Andy
