Some gentlemen sharing each others company. A calm and convivial atmosphere away from the stresses of modern life. That's the way to it. Well done chaps

I wish I had a little boat house on a pond where I could sail my boat with friends! Looks like all sorts of fun!

[@kevinjones7777]

One of the best r/c yacht videos on youtube. I keep coming back to it as it is so relaxing to watch and listen to the banter.

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thank You Veronica for your nice comment! On my KZbin ScaleJetFred channel are two more videos about sailin in between 150 videos. Hopr you will find the other two. Regards Fred

[@cadser0engco]

This looks so relaxing. Especially on a cold windy day. I can't believe how fast they get around the course.

[@ScaleJetFred]

You are correct Brian, try it yourself. just find an RC boat club.

[@SailboatRC]

This pond had so much fun that day, ha, 7 years after and this is still the most viewed IOM class RC sailing video on YT we believe, nice! :) :)

[@ScaleJetFred]

Wow, thanks! Regards Fred

[@MMare-kb6ig]

Nice old boats, IOM class is simply best in RC sailing! ☺️👍

[@ScaleJetFred]

Thank you M. Mare! You are of similar mind as my friends using this boat! Thank you for the visit to my ScaleJetFred channel with 140 RC related video's! Greetings from Ireland, Fred

[@MMare-kb6ig]

@@ScaleJetFred Well I have explored many, some cheaper plastic ones come and go, they break down, you bring your hull with your on a 6-hour trip and it cracks...never again. IOM class is superb really, one of the longest traditions in RC sailing and for a good reason. :)

Looks like a nice way for old friends to spend an afternoon followed by a pint or two!

This is awesome! I grew up sailing but now pretty much stay in Colorado. This would be so much fun at the campsite, plus wouldn't bother anyone. So glad I found this.

[@argonaut6386]

This looks lovely and relaxing. I'd much rather this than a power boat. As a child my parents bought my brother and I a wooden sailing boat each when we were on a caravan holiday in Great Yarmouth. We had hours of fun at the boating lake on the sea front. Thanks for the great video

[@ScaleJetFred]

Agreed Jason! a bit skill is needed to get it tuned after somewhat fiddly RC installation for the sail movements. I have 2 more videos about this sport on mu ScaleJetFred channel with 145 videos. Greeting from Ireland, Fred

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hello RC Menzinger Agar! One of the boats is hand made from wood, one (white) came as a kit from Robbe and the red one is built from a hulk (Rumpf) molded in Australia! Regards Fred

Hi AMare, thanks for watching and the comment. Greetings from Dublin Ireland, Fred

[@ScaleJetFred]

This is a reply from the best sailor in our club: Sorry Fred - I am unable to respond to your /his request .A yachts stability comes from the fin length -and the weighton the bottom of the fin -The deeper the fin and the more weight - the greater the stability .Its a balance of stability versus speed-If you keep putting weight on to the fin the boat will eventually sink.If the weight is too light -the boat will turn over -and sink -So its a balance of minimum weight and speed and stability .Hope this explains what is going on -without going into too much detail.Des .

[@ukandrew]

It was this big [-----Huge Trout ----] Very funny, must be a fisherman. You are a very competitive bunch of sailers. One of you chaps might be able to educate me. On full scale yachts the foresail is often furling and never has a boom running the base of the sail like on RC yachts and I wondered why this is? I see its free floating so is this simply to hold form? I see this on all rc yachts so maybe some things are not practical to scale? Great video and as one of you said, the yachts look very good on the screen. Thanks for taking the time.

[@ScaleJetFred]

@@ScaleJetFred can't wait to check out more videos. I was wanting some sail boats for my pond. Thought I'd research a bit and found this video. It is exactly how i want to spend my weekends. At first i thought the wind was to fast for such relatively small boats, but realized it looked just perfect for racing around. Great video again. Thanks for sharing and your kind words back.

[@alannewman85]

Lookslike great fun! Are all your boats the same IOM design? I'm in Bray, would love to build one and join you!

[@ScaleJetFred]

Hi Alan! The lake is not as nice as it was at time the video was taken. One "Know All" insisted to remove the waterfall outlet, replacing ir with a valve installed on the bottom. this resulted, within a few month, in weed growth preventing the fun you just watched.

Hi John! I, some time ego, I had and operated the scale model of a Steam Icebreaker. It was Gas heated for life steam. Unfortunately there was no video recorded. It was based on the "Stettin" and operated wit life steam, the boiler heated with Gas.

[@allahspreadshate6486]

How can you love sail boats and not know what a keel is? That's like a motor racing fan saying "This is great, but wouldn't they be quicker if they didn't have a big lump of metal under the bonnet?"...

[@poly_hexamethyl]

How do you get the jib and mailsail to go to opposite sides when running downwind? It looks like the jib is boomed and the only control is a line running to the center of the deck, so you can control how much it is pulled in but not to which side it goes?
