The Marblehead boat is an American idea, I'm sure a hunt through the web on the word 'Marblehead' aand plans etc.... should throw up something. Otherwise your local RC Model boat club. Where are you situated.

Nice music, really enjoyed r/c sailing with my Marblehead but theres no club local here. Wish I knew how that vane system worked!?

Feather connected to rudder. As the wind varies, it compensates by adjusting the rudder. Will get a close up shot of the workings next time for you.

Hoping to do a lot more Vane sailing this year. I'm going to probably enter the 36R class myself for once. A mate and myself have a couple of old Ten Raters eager to get going. He's converted his to Radio and I was still wondering. Mines got the short heavy keel where as his might have the longer thin one, but otherwise identical. Nice to hear from you down under. Tony.

.......just out of interest , how deep is the lake at Fleetwood ?.

At a guess, I would say 4ft around the edge , which is a concrete lintel that protrudes out for about 10feet and maybe 5ft in the central area. I've seen it emptied but mabe somebody else can confirm. Guys have waded out to recover boats in the past, but not recommended.

Many thanks for the info matey . I have 2 vintage 10 raters and sail mostly on an open loch here in Scotland . I also sail motor boats and have in the past had to get the local outdoor centre to rescue them .........I quite fancy a jaunt down to Fleetwood to have a sail.

@@roystone9932 I inherited an old 10 rater off a mate as he had 2. We are probably going to use them with radio but you never know. They are to old to race with the modern stuff now a days. It would be good to have a few together on maybe our 'Lake of Sails day' but probably to soon this year, but maybe next.
