boats


I have been creating remote controlled model sailboats for twenty years. When I was a kid My dad had a collection of vintage pond yachts which we sometimes sailed in the harbor. We needed to chase after them in a small row-boat so they wouldn't get away. My radio controlled ones have rudder and sail control using a transmitter. My passion for making these boats is huge. When I sail them at Christian Science reflecting pool I am spiritually connected to them via the radio transmitter. It sounds strange but it really is like becoming "one" with the boat as it glides across the water on the slightest breeze.

In the future I want to create How-to videos or even a book about making these boats so that I can maybe help others to enjoy this amazing and addictive artistic activity (model sailboats from scratch).  I would also like to Publish plans in the future. Stay tuned
