Indeed - careful where you go swimming.
However - I have to admire your spirit in trying to retrieve your lost SV27. You've shown true dedication to the cause right there! I too have had to take the odd swim to retrieve a flipped over or reed-caught boat - but never in a river I'd have to say. I live in Australia so the cold is never really an issue here.
Never mind. Take it like a man and salute your lost boat over a stiff beverage. I too shall mourn it's passing....... :)

I know there's a few guys from OZ on the RCgroups.com forum but not sure about where they all live. I have the same problem actually - finding people with similar interests to race against etc without actually needing to join a club. I've seen a few boats of varying types out and about in OZ but so far nothing to run against my little collection. SV27's have been available in OZ for a while so people must run them ..... somewhere. Do you actually run in the ocean over there? I went for a blast on the coast over here and just ran a heap of fresh water through afterward plus gave the flex cable a lengthy WD40 bath afterward - along with with a liberal dose of WD40 for everything else. As summer wears on I think my lakes will disappear.
