Crane operation

[Ocean Racer]

I like the simplicity of operation of the rear gantry on that boat.
It has given me a few ideas for my current build.

I have on the build bench a 36" offshore rig tender style hull.
It is totally scratch built and i am undecided as to the deck layout and equipment it will have.
I have considered a rear gantry setup particularly for recovering the rigger and tunnel hulls that do not like being towed in sternfirst.

I know this is mainly a FE forum but I know that I am not the only one with a slow or scale boat or 2 SHE has only seen 2 of the slow ones so far

I have seen a model with a similar crane over on rcgroups 'docktalk', I'll look it up and post a link shortly.

thank you guys for all your help yes i know its a FE board and a project like this is not consider FE more like SE. Thanks rex for that link that is a pretty nice scaler and i have a lot of pictures to get ideas from.

heheh. well, if you were to lower a vid camera over the side...you could say that it was for finding sunken FE boats...and that would be related/on topic .

then next would be a miniature sonar to find the ones in deep
