It takes about 15-20kg of ballast but it tows well.
Here are a couple of pictures one on its maiden "tow"
- shavingsChief Petty Officer 2. KlasseI remember when they used to race them! They had two men stood at the sharp end with huge sweeps to row them along near Tower Bridge. River men used to be a different breed.
Roger - sigfortunataPetty Officer 1st ClassAs a lad I used to see this type of barge in use all the time which I why I wanted to make one.
There are a few still in use but no "Lightermen" to row them about anymore since the passing of the East End Docks
It's a Robbe kit "San Diego" built by a chap on this website "sharpy1071"
Leopard 4074-1400Kv water-cooled motors 100A Mystery ESC's.
After a few teething problems with transmitter setup, everything went fine.
- sharpy1071Chief Petty Officer 2. KlasseGood to see my old boat on water, glad your happy with it. Our pond is beginning to weed up again so it would not have had much use down here!!Gefällt von Rod and figtree7nts
- KipperPetty Officer 2nd ClassShe is lit, full set of Nav lights, plus a set of 3 towing lamps either side of the mast, 2 spots lighting the rear deck, bridge lights & partial lighting in the lower cabins.
There are other lights to add yet, i.e. search lights on the bridge roof, foredeck spotlamp And 3 lamps around the superstructure above doors.
Last month she won our clubs 'Torchlight Regatta' trophy, was well chuffed. 😀 - manyboatsPetty Officer 1st ClassNice.... Model slipway do make a nice kit. Built their Tsekoa last year and was very happy with it.
