Miscellaneous at Crowborough August 2025

Art Deco anyone?

The age of streamlining

Self anchoring lightship

Anchored well but unfortunately the cables twisted whilst at anchor and wouldn't rewind

All it takes to make a boat?

Ray with styrene floatboat 

Or you could make a detailed scale model

Vintage Model Yacht group visit

Lots of pond yachts....

.....and lots of walking!

Trimaran

You can never tell where the 8 inch boats will go

Titanic pop pop

Magic control?

The magnetic wand moves the rudder!

 

Ketch or long keel gaff. whatever floats your boat 

metal hull?

Pell Mell

 

 

such a beautiful scene

having a 'turning pole' saves bending down

 

 

18 inch and 8 inch

classic yachts

mini steam tug

Sometimes there's just not enough wind

 

Bradbourne Lakes project, Sevenoaks

Crowborough's pitch at their summer event

The boating pond that will be restored is just beyond the seat in the background

A lowered boat launching area will be where the picture is taken from

The north side is to be cleared for all-round access to the water

Plenty of chance to enthuse the public... and the mayor

The boat bought to be the first yacht to officially sail on the restored pond. It is to be named after the project manager

 

Happy Boating
