Free Offer: “The Beast”September 13, 2019Having had various unsatisfactory offers for his model of the John Fitch paddle boat, “The Beast”, Mike Sheppard is now offering the model to Club members “free to a good home”! It will need collecting from near Haverfordwest in South Wales*. The model is just under 5 foot in length and weighs about 50lbs. It is fully functional with motor, radio transmitter, a stand and two wheel trolley. To avoid breakages, it needs two people place it in water. In operation the model provides a unique and entertaining sight… watch the video which was filmed at Setley Pond! *(if a SRCMBC member is interested in owning the model but unable to collect it, I may be able to arrange for its collection – Peter Taylor info@srcmbc.org.uk ) The model is based on the first paddle steamboat designed by John Fitch in 1786 in the USA. Twelve vertical oars were connected to a steam engine in such a way that they dipped in the water for a stroke and were then lifted out and carried forwards for the next stroke. A photo of this model is displayed in the John Fitch Steamboat Museum in Warminster, Pennsylvania, USA. John Fitch later developed a cargo carrying paddle steamboat with stern mounted paddles. Price: …see above Please contact Mike on 01437 760021 if you would like more information...

Vintage Cargo Boat – Free for renovationSeptember 10, 2019I have a model cargo vessel built about 60 years ago which is gathering dust in my garage and needs some TLC and a good home. It is not to any scale that I can see being 100 cms long with 11 cms beam and a draft of about 6 cms including a central keel. It is built in balsa I think with three cargo holds, a bell battery powered variable speed motor, port and starboard lights and a fixed steering gear system which can be adjusted but not radio controlled. In fact there is enough space for radio control to be fitted. Because it has been stored for so long, the cotton representing the derrick chains etc is very fragile and I know it has a leak and a couple of other minor repairs are needed. So whilst I understand that your club is about scale models I just wondered if any of the junior members might be interested. It is free to a good home or with a donation to Julia’s House charity. I live in Christchurch but am very happy to deliver. Contact: David Tozer david.tozer@srcmbc.org.uk ...

Marblehead Yacht needs home!April 16, 2019We have received an email from Rob Wills who is looking for home for a Marblehead yacht belonging to his late father. For Scale members who are not sure what these yachts are like, the photo above shows some Marblehead yachts being launched. Rob says: “I think it was originally built in about 1973 using a lot of home made components. It would be nice if it can find a home, so I was wondering if your club could use it or someone you know would want a project? It is located just outside Lymington.” The Sailing Section no longer races Marbleheads, but perhaps a Scale Section member would like one of these large, graceful yachts? If you are interested please contact Rob direct at rob.wills@srcmbc.org.uk...
