Five years ago this month, I moved on board Wahine, embarked on my maiden voyage, and started this YouTube channel. My Grandson and family were with me and he took this video. It’s been a journey filled with highs and lows, living the dream with the occasional nightmare. Having explored 70 ports, I’ve covered half of Japan and there's so much more to come.
If you've seen other vids on my channel, I like to bring this pond yacht to the same lake as the rc voyager 280 sailboat, but it always itches me not to get both of them under command (plus the occasional tangling with the safety string) The electronics are dirty simple, and salvaged from a very old solar rc buggy. The buggy always lacked power, so in the end I took it apart. The receiver is waterproof under a plastic cover. The motor will have to survive... The battery pack is custom made. The range may be about 9 meters only. Still better than the tangles and pulls of the safety string The construction... you'd be the judge... Buoyancy test passed, but who knows if it won't capsize on a gust... Wish me luck!
