Marine Modelers of New England is a low-key club based in the greater Boston area. The thirty year old organization meets monthly, usually pond-side to sail their model boats, when the weather allows it. Their meetings are informal, with little time spent on business, and lots of time displaying models, talking about RC boats, and listening to guest speakers. There is usually an interesting array of models at our gatherings displayed by members and guests.

Accessible to persons with disabilities

Star45 construction:winch and steering servo | Radio Tray

From: "J Fisher"
Sender: Star45@yahoogroups.com
Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2007 20:54:05 -0700 (Mountain Standard Time)

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.

Good site.
>Star, Etchells 22, and IOD models, half models and laser cut frames
>International Star Class models
>I built Star 3909 in 1957 and raced her on Lake Hopatcong, NJ and Long Island Sound. Over the years I have owned 3 other Stars and now offer Star Class laser cut frames for Star 45 Class and other size models of the Star. Star models are very easy to build due to their flat sides and small arc bottom.

Take a look at the number of models and lazer cut frames

He "now offer(s) Star Class laser cut frames for Star 45 Class"

Now If I can only get the comments approval to work on
