discussion Rowing Boat

[Guest]

I thought that the attached pic might prove a diversion from the norm. The rowing boat - built by a member of the Borders Model Boat Club - appeared at the Edinburgh end of season sail in our newly re-furbished pond at Inverleith. The model certainly caused a great deal of interest from modellers and spectators alike. It's just a great pity that I didn't manage to find out more about it's builder or how it worked.

Howdy Andrew,

That is so cool, I never even thought about R/C rowboats before now.

That is along the same lines as an R/C Bicycle lol, just something you never think about.

Have a good day,

Great stuff. I love interesting little things like this.

There was a two man canoe in Model Boats magazine about a year ago which was also very interesting.

our ex club chairman has a lovely clinker built rowing boat, its big, and its works so well !- his latest project is a venetian gondola !

I have an old Model Boats magazine that shows a boat like this with the mechanics explained. I'll see if I can dig it out and let you know which edition it was.

If anyone is thinking of a build thread for one of these R/C Rowboats - bear in mind there may be children present on these forums - if posting images of dissmembered action men! :death:

Thats pretty cool. I sawa Viking type boat a few years ago with about 15 oars per side, but no exposed rowers.

Our chairman has a rowing boat too. Each time we put it on a stand the questions about it are "who knitted the hat and jumper"?
