Yacht for sale: “Lulu”July 8, 2026Mike Moore writes:
I am offering for sale a yacht “Lulu” (see photos below) made by my father-In-law, Ken Burton during the 1990’s.
The Radio Controlled Yacht “Lulu” was built to the majority of specifications (Transom modified) detailed in Model Maker Drawing 511 titled “LEO” Designed by W J Daniels” not dated but contains imperial measurements throughout and priced at 5 shillings! I have the Drawing in my possession used for the Build. The radio control system is a “Futaba Attack – Sport AM 27 Digital Proportional Radio Control System)”.
Following WWII, Ken became a highly regarded Toolmaker in the Aero Industry and later the Head of the Woodwork & Metalwork Department at a local school. He made four yachts in total (see photograph above) each with an exceptionally high build quality. He regularly sailed his yachts “Lulu”, “Windrush II”, “Bridie” and “Gremlin” around Setley Pond, often in the company of his brother-in-law Mick (aka Earnest) Chelmick who also built and sailed radio controlled model yachts. Alas, Ken and Mick passed away in 2017 and 2020 respectively.
Lulu has been in “dry dock” in a bedroom for the last 5 or more years and it is time to get her back on the water. If there is any member of your club that would be interested in becoming the new owner, then please don’t hesitate to forward the details. I have placed a sale price of £300 but the money is not important, it is the ownership and use by a passionate RC Yacht enthusiast with an abundance of tender loving care for a yacht with a fine pedigree.
I will of course travel to Setley Pond to enable a full viewing for any interested party.
