Maiden voyage for our new vessel!

Sailing Claire's RC Hurricane Sailboat from the Delaware City Town Dock!

Ha-HA did ya think we got a new boat?

Above, you can see Justice in her slip, top left.

This remote control racer was a SUPER nice retirement gift to Claire from BoatUS Publications and Membership Departments, a great creative team that keeps all 25+ member benefits available! This BIG ship, a "791-2 Hurricane" - is taller than I am has great graphics by ... BoatUS Graphics, of course!

On the voyage, the Delafort makes an appearance. The Delafort takes people to and from Fort Delaware.

Dave was very helpful, having RC Airplane experience, and he has built many RC planes.

The remote control has 3 sensitivity settings

and we can recenter the rudder with the remote as well.

"Tow-ClaireUS" was ready for any groundings... and yes there were some by the mudbank.

We sailed close to slack tide on the old branch canal. To get to the dock, Dave walked the ship to the town dock, while Claire paddled the kayak from Justice to the town dock, about 100 feet.
