The Laying Down Supper Gauntlet is thrown down....

[FullCircle]

Just for a bit of fun, we will have a Laying Down Supper competition.

I want everybody to bring ....... a cotton reel tank.

Prizes for nicest construction and furthest distance travelled across the Swallowtail floor, within a 2m wide boundary.


Like this for instance, but not limited to this design. Off you go then.

 

[Wunja]

Is rocket technology allowed? Or in the case of of certain members, pyrotechnics and hairspray!

 

[CPD]

......... and what size cotton reels are allowed ?

 

[Wunja]

 

[Sixpence]

That may need some improvement as I don't think it ever did work properly

......... and what size cotton reels are allowed ?

Just as it says on the bobbin - cotton reel. Cotton may be liberally interpreted.

I think, given the indoor nature of this contest, and one that is attempting the ingenious betterment of the mini Sailors, rather than the addled parents that the use of inflammable propulsion devices is limited to candle wax.

Spoil sport!

 

[Panache New Girl]

Double booked!

Hello! I'm sorry - I can no longer come to the "do". Had forgotten that I'd promised my neices a pyjama party that night - so it looks like hair straitners, make-up, pJs and x-factor for me! Have fun and see you soon.

 

[FullCircle]

Hi Amanda, thanks for letting us know, we will see you soon down on the boat.

I'm going to call mine Jim - all torque and not much forward motion

 

[Wunja]

I just fell off my chair laughing!

You're the first one brave enough to say it but a chortle was heard here

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

I'm afraid to report that further modifications are required to the Morgana 'Tank'.....

Sadly its has so much power that torque, traction and steerage have become problems...... we are working on adding additional downforce components and some kind of aerodynamic directional stabiliser.....

I was going to suggest slick tyres, but as the race is being held in a pub, full wets might be better.

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Wets it is.... we're just knocking up a limited slip diff in the garage first though.....

I think I am safe here.

Mr Circle has a reputation for plotting revenge and humiliation from a distance then waiting patiently for the fly to walk into his web
Never did pay for the question mark either
