Introduction

One of my favorite hobbies is model making (powered only) in three domains: boat, cars (off road scale 1/8), and planes. 

Since I have children and a difficult job (and other hobbies as well as model making!), I have now just time enough to practice boat model making at sea and on lakes.

In this blog, I would like to show my passion for wooden boats entirely built from kits bought in specialized shops. Those boats have a length between 0.5m and 1m, are powered by electrical motors in order to navigate, and have lights for night.

This passion is shared with my wife, who builds a great part of hull and upper deck structures, and does painting and details. My domains are more waterproofness of the hull and electronically / mechanical parts.

So, you can see our three builds. One of them has been still under construction for one year because of lack of time. The two others are fully operational and navigate about three or four times a year for the pleasure of our children and spectators !
