This is a journal of aggregated techniques, photos videos, and plans for Marine Modelers and Model Ship Builders. . My name is DaveMainwaring @ gmail.com. This blog started when I was building a semi-scale Star45 a model based on the International Star. WhyNot build scale, semi-scale static display, radio controlled models powered by Sail, Steam, Electric power for adults and toy boats for kids?

The radio tray is to hold the winch and steering servo. No provisions for water proofing. When sailing is fresh water I tape the receiver under the deck and everything else is open. The boats tend to be a little wet due to the low freeboard, but as long as I drain between races I have no issues. For salt water I am thinking of adding one of the radio pots from bantock. I would only put my receiver and batteries in that, everything else is open.
