running day -Fleet Base Perth

Post by SergeSera »

Good Evening All,

A quick report on todays Perth Base running day.

Weather overcast and cool, water cold but otherwise brilliant running conditions. :D

In attendance was Rob with Peter the Great, Peter P with Darwin and Scorpion, Nige with Toowoomba and Serge (me) with Ardent and tug Ulisis, Graeme W was also in attendance with Arrow still in dry dock - some excuse about workshop being a disaster area -refurb.

Any way great sailing conditions - not to many photos of sailing as I was busy "sailing", Highlight would be the control Pete has of the Scorpion submarine - trim not quite there, but still very impressive as it starts to stalk the the surface ships and various water birds.

I brought my tug Ulisis along as it has not been on the water for some time due to a dicky battery, she was my first RC effort, needless to say at full throttle speed boat would a fair description.

Hope you enjoy the photos

cheers

Serge
