ACTION AT MY LOCAL RC BOAT CLUB | SAILS and WARSHIPS !!!

ACTION AT MY LOCAL RC BOAT CLUB | SAILS and WARSHIPS !!!
Jason and I popped down to our local RC boating pond in Basingstoke and came across the club who had dropped some nice sail boats and warships onto the water. We stayed a little while and filmed the action.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WAS FILMED EARLY 2020 BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.
Filmed by Dom Mitchell for the Essential RC KZbin channel using the Panasonic AG-UX180 Pro 4K camcorder.

I am all about speed but it's actually quite satisfying to watch them go slowly around and around . Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@EssentialRC]

I think so too. Makes a nice change. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Appreciate it.

[@remkojerphanion4686]

A relaxing day at the pond, nice!

[@R3C0i11]

I like how the ducks don't seem to be bothered by the boats 😂

[@Brian_Christensen07RC]

I have a pond in front of the field where I fly (behind my house) and I just hover around them all the time and they hate it. 😂

[@RCplamodel]

What a classic ship it is! Thank you for the wonderful video. Cool 👍😎😁👍

[@EssentialRC]

Glad you enjoyed it

I love this video. I grew up sailing, used to teach sailing, and also built sailboats at night while attending HS. That first model was/is gorgeous. I like the idea of an RC sailboat as opposed to planes, at least for me, as there is less chance of crashing, I'm pretty much all thumbs these days, but have built and flown several RC gliders. I live on an island some 30 miles to sea, on which there are about 750 named lakes. I'm thinking it might be fun to scratch build a sailboat. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@EssentialRC]

Thanks Doug. I'll have to give one a go sometime soon. I've never really understood the technique for going upwind and downwind. Maybe when the warm weather returns I'll get a kit and give it a go. You should do the same 😉

[@DougsterCanada1]

@@EssentialRC Looking at kits now. :)

[@BRIANFORWARD1]

Aaaaahh yes the famous boating pond in Shangri-la... Its a shame but rc boating seems to be a forgotten rc hobby. That's how I got into the hobby over 50 years ago

[@EssentialRC]

Very few places to do it Brian. All the ponds and lakes around our way are inaccessible. Very sad.

[@BRIANFORWARD1]

@@EssentialRC in London to my knowledge there's Clapham Common boating pond(where I used to go) and there's another place that was featured In the film omen.... But that's it. I know that when it comes to fix wing in Europe GERMANY IS THE PLACE TO GO

[@fakeucakeu5795]

Love the boats💜😃

[@DadsRCHangar]

Very peaceful 🤓

[@EssentialRC]

Yes...and sometimes that's exactly what is needed...rather than this whoosh whoosh of fast jets backwards and forwards...but not very often. We all like a bit of speed.

[@AlexA-zf7em]

Do you know anything about the rope fenders on the sailboat? I'm looking for resources to tie my own. Thanks!

[@EssentialRC]

No, sorry

[@djlyfe557]

Great video. I have a question for you all. I'm am looking to build a boat pond. what size do you feel is adequate for something like this. I am a rc car guy, looking to open a rc park that caters to all rc lovers. Not a lot of places to run boats where i am legally .Thanks.

[@lucianosalt2396]

finding a boating lake within reasonable travelling distance is my problem!

[@EssentialRC]

Tell me about it! Took us a long time to discover this one and it's not big enough for fast RC boats. So many lakes and ponds in our local area but they have were all sold and fenced off many years ago. No public access. Great shame.

[@lucianosalt2396]

@@EssentialRC try to find one that will accept legacy IC boats like my Perkasa and vosper-thornycroft air sea rescue boat

[@ussr2346]

Can you tell me the location I bought a rc titanic

[@johnutting9615]

Could do with a change in thebath water !

[@EssentialRC]

Good Summer weather does result in lots of algae in ponds. Not a lot can be done about it I suspect.

[@ww2madness326]

Where's the planes?

[@EssentialRC]

Ahhh...more to RC than just planes. We do a bit of everything on this channel.

[@gudjonolafsson]

Why is the water green? Does not look very healthy.

[@EssentialRC]

Don't know. Nobody was swimming in it or drinking it so I don't think any risk to health. 😆

[@remkojerphanion4686]

Well, the ducks certainly don't mind what colour the water is!

[@romacaputmundirerums]

Buonasera. L'acqua è verde a causa della vegetazione intorno al lago. Sarebbe di questo colore, naturalmente, anche se fosse pulitissima o addirittura potabile. Questo accade in piccoli specchi d'acqua. In medi e grandi laghi, invece, prevalgono le tonalità dell'azzurro e del blu.
