During a run on a Dutch SAW we organised our boat drived directly into a pile with a top speed about 120 Km/h.
And what the cause is, is not yet clear.
There was nothing we can do about it.

After a total link search to different kind of manufactures we saw that some links on our link page where broken. So we totally refreshed it and replaced the broken links. We also put some new ones on it.
If you still miss a link on the manufacter page or on another one....Please let us know so we can make the search for other people who are new in this hobby easier.

08-08-2004

The last couple of months, due to distractions outside this site we've fallen behind in maintaining it.

A number of boats have been added to the fleet, among which a Christon 1:8 tandem wing hydro (2x), a Hydro&Marine Supersport, A Hydro&Marine Microdrifter (2x) and a Graupner F1 Tunnel hull.

Also, after some serious modifications and employing the magical GP 3300 MiMH cells, we've managed to push the 1.60m cat to 92.9 km/h. On top of that, we are now the proud owners of a Plettenberg HP370/50/A1S, a 4kW powerhouse which should show some interesting (!) results.
If even Plettenberg's own dyno couldn't cope with this monster, imagine what it'll do in a boat...!

Soon we'll have several updates on this site; keep your eyes peeled.

22-03-2004

Because of a lot of changes in our hobby about RC modeling we attempt to include every information we've got. At this moment we are completely revising the site so we can put on every model we have or had with the information that we feel is interesting for our visitors. One this new version more than 40 new models will be presented, where available with details about the building proces and lots more.
We hope you understand that this takes a lot of time to create and upload, but we do our best to do it as soon as possible.

Anyway, there are some new pages that we've uploaded: it's one of the latest saildays we attended:

It has been a long time ago, but the Key West project is finally finished.
The new drives are built in, the motors work, and i've already made some test runs with it. Top speed i think around 60km/h, but i've got one problem:
The GPS doesn't fit in it.
Click on the picture if you want to see more.

24-03-2003

Yes, the day has come to do some test runs with my new and improved Robbe Unlimited. Together with Peter we build a whole new setup.
And with results.

02-03-2003

On 02-03-2003 there was another sail day in the Naarderbos.
We where there as well. The weather was great, no wind at all, good tempatures, and lots of great speeds. I brought my B24 with me and did some speed trials.
Another 70 km/h was the result; see the pictures.

23-02-2003

We attended to the Goes modeling fair once more. Check out the pictures under
"Events - Fairs - Goes 2003".

19-01-2003

The boat pages have been expanded, the event section is redesigned and a number of sail days and fairs are available now, and more will be added soon.

26-12-2002

A new look, a new design, a complete change-over.
We finally found out how Dreamweaver works and, as you can see, what it's capable of.
In the first time we just experimented with Frontpage, but that wasn't working out the way we wanted.
Secondly, we weren't at all happy with the design, so we replaced the whole site with a new one.
We hope you like it.

02 & 03-11-2002

We had a event in the IJsselhallen in Zwolle (the Netherlands)
We also had a stand at his Modelshow with our Xtreme RC Boat club.
In the "Events" section you can see some pictures of what it was like.

17-10-2002

It did take a while, but it's finally in my possession: the Graupner B28,
and it's nice, believe me...

---

05-10-2002

Oké oké, i couldn't stand it, so yes!!! i bought myself a B28 from Graupner.
The next thing is that it is going to be a fast one to, because the standard motor suggested for this boat is a little too slow for my taste, so it is going to be a Plettenberg Brushless on 30 cells. For the rest of the information, just be patient.....
You will see this baby very soon on the water, when it passing your boat :).
