Fleet base Greater Sydney Run at Wenty November 27th

Post by MichaelB »

A good turnout of members arrived for the run. As usual a mixture of scales from 1/72 to 1/20th. The larger scale models being mainly coastal forces vessels which can be rather small in 1/72 scale.

Fine weather and a good selection of models and a nice BBQ lunch made it even better.

On the water the larger scales howled around looking impressive with Dave Pearce’s PT boat reduced to a mere 12 volts making impressive runs and turns along with Peter Schroder’s PT boat.

As well as the usual sail every which way we also indulged in some formation sailing which kept everyone on their toes and impressed the natives.

The weekend being the traditional Annual Regatta Weekend, two committee members decided to start practising for the 2017 Homer Award. First off, the Vice President’s Vendetta had a close up and personal contact with Dave Pearce’s camera on a stick in the water which resulted in a loss of some equipment including the life rafts which did prove they floated. Not to be outdone or to show who is the boss, the President joined in the fun and T Boned the Vice President's Vendetta during the formation sail. Al might not have been there in the flesh but his spirit was.
