Occre Endurance 12008

In the race to conquer the South Pole, three names loomed large: Ernest Shackleton, Robert Falcon Scott and Roald Amundsen. The Endurance was launched on 17 December 1912 under the name “Polaris”. Originally rigged as a frigate, she was converted into a three-masted barquentine and in 1914 joined the famous Trans-Antarctic Imperial Expedition to cross Antarctica under Sir Ernest Shackleton’s command. After the Expedition was shipwrecked on 19 August 1915, the Endurance was trapped in the ice of the Weddell Sea. For 522 days the explorers braved winds up to 300 km/h and temperatures of 40 degrees below zero. Shackleton and a few hand-picked men took a small boat, the James Caird, and made one of the most memorable and heroic journeys in sailing history. Together with all their crew, they accomplished the most important feat of all...surviving. The expedition is remembered as an epic story of endurance, heroism and survival.

Happy Hunter

Krick has now re-released the Happy Hunter under it's Ro-Marin Range The Happy Hunter is a scale reproduction of a Dutch ocean-going salvage tug to a scale of 1 : 50. The boat is built to be powered by a direct-drive, i.e. non-geared system, in the form of two high-torque 700 electric motors. Fixed Kort nozzles increase thrust, and the boat is capable of carrying out extremely arduous towing tasks and complex manoeuvres in conjunction with the bow thruster, which is an optional accessory. The capacious plastic hull allows the modeller to install numerous auxiliary working systems, and experienced builders will enjoy fitting out the Happy Hunter with a working lighting system, radar, anchor winch, sound system and towing mechanism. It is even possible to install a fully working crane; the crane itself is included in the kit. Click Here for further information

Aeronaut Pilot Boat 1:25

Boats of this general type are widely encountered along the Baltic and North Sea coasts. These vessels are very agile and fast, typically capable of 25 - 30 kn. Their task is to provide reliable, all-weather transport for pilots to the large ocean-going ships. The space aft of the command stand can accommodate several pilots, so that a single excursion can take all of them out to their “workplaces”. Our model very effectively incorporates the typical characteristics and handling of these boats. The model is based on a modern planing hull, and is therefore very fast and agile. The hard-chine hull is of plastic construction. All the ABS parts are supplied laser-cut, and can be slotted together and glued immediately. The hull is assembled on a Depron jig. The power system consists of two electric motors which can either be controlled individually (2 x Multi 25 speed controller) or in common by a single Multi 40 controller. Two rudder systems are used for directional control. Click Here for further information

Radio Controlled RC Yachts

Radio controlled (r/c) yacht models can provide the same enjoyment in “conversing with the wind” as their full sized counterparts can do. Using the natural energy of the wind, the model glides over the water, precisely controlled by its rudder and sails. This is a brief introduction to getting started.

Radio Control Requirements

Obviously a radio control unit is required to control the yacht. Generally a 2-channel radio, with a stick controlled transmitter is required for R/C yacht models. Radio control units (R/C) consist of a number of components.

Transmitter – This is the ‘control box’ which the person controlling the model holds. The number of channels a R/C set has determines how many functions it can control.

Receiver – the receiver is actually held in the model and is responsible for receiving the radio signals from the transmitter and sending the control signals to the servo motors to operate various functions.

Battery – Usually rechargeable batteries supplying power to the receiver and servos.

Servos – these are small electric motors connected to, and controlled by the receiver. It is these servos that are responsible for operating the controls on board the model. Often specialist sail winches are used.

In most radio controlled yachts two servos are used to control the sail and rudder.

– Rudder control servo: Steers the vessel in the desired direction – Sail control servo: control the sail

A small R/C yacht model can be controlled by standard sized servos, but a special high torque servo may be required to control the sails on a larger sized model.

Two control frequency bands are commonly used for yacht racing in the UK. These are the 27MHz band (12 transmitting channels) and the 40MHz band (34 transmitting channels). This permits, in theory, a total of 46 boats to sail simultaneously on one stretch of water. However, regattas are usually organised in such a way that no more than 18 boats compete in any one heat a – a race may be made up of a number of heats (see the RC Laser Race Management System) . This allows any number of entries, as the multiple fleet system, with promotion and relegation is employed when regatta entries exceed 18 boats.

How To Get Started

The easiest way to commence fun or competitive sailing is to contact your local club, via the MYA or by just visiting its web site at http://www.radiosailing.org.uk. Visiting your local club is the best way decide whether you want to build or purchase a boat and it will also help you decide which class to choose. There is a small second-hand market for most classes with prices starting as little as £300 for a One Metre, ready to sail.

Radio yacht sailing is organised along similar lines to full sized yacht racing using the international racing rules. Many races are conducted in one day and as a skipper you stay safe, warm and dry, thus making this an ideal sport for all members of the family.

Types Of Boats

Various classes of yachts are sailed and these are controlled by the MYA (Model Yacht Association). See our classes page for more details.
