Entertaining debate with 'gassey bloke' last night over beer ( his ) .. who claimed 'you' electric Boffins had a looooong way to go before becoming accepted within the worldwide boating fraternity..
I reminded him if it were not for 'us' electric Boffins, and rapid assimilation into 'the worldwide boating fraternity' . you would still be running tether boats.
hahaha
he handed me a 6pack and said it was time for him to leave !
Every seen a tether boat go ?
In South Oz is South AustralianModelSteamEngineers ( SASME) who have a site in Millswood where they run scale steam engines..dragging enthusiasts around 1/8th scale scenery .. ..and past a tether pond...fastest thing Ive ever seen is a flash steam driven boat tied to a cable tether.. 10Yd radius.. and more laps per sec than able to comprehend.. wicked !
Off switch was a switch of wood ( stick) he placed in path of boat to trip onboard valve.
The fellow who ran it looked like a deckhand from the Ark ....... !
