Hey those are my pics... well a few of them anyway.
  Which pond is that with all the rocks in it? It looks like a challenging place to sail?  . . . Quickie instructions for construction... . . . Last edited by Umi_Ryuzuki; Jun 14, 2009 at 03:41 PM. |

Nice pictures!!! I'm going to have to add a Springer to the list! They are popular in my club (SFMYC) with lots of Springer events on the calendar... I'm going to have to join the fun!
I really like the looks of the one in "Photo 26" do drawings for that superstructure exist / are they available? also, really like the looks of the fuel dock in "photo 27"! D'oh! forgot the name of the boat! "Ink-something"!

Their website is The North West R/c Ship Modelers It looks like a challenging place to sail? Yes it sure does look like a challenging place to sail, even more challenging with a barge or two. But the way the Springer boats are built I'm sure they could handle a hit or two on the rocks. |

Looks very much like a boat 'Uncle Sam' came up with in WWII.

Thanks for the starting point on the super structure Boater! the drawings and illustration will be very useful!
What thickness of wood is typically used on these models? Pictures look like the hulls are @ 3/8" pine sides with 1/8" plywood bottoms? Also what can be said about the 1:1 tugs? they look like maybe they are utility types used mainly around the docks? Thanks!
