Hello all

> >

I have been visiting this site for a while and finally took the plunge and joined up.

I am new to RC Model Boating, having bought a ‘Ready to Go’ model Tug.

My goal is to eventually build an RC model of the tug; Wolraad Woltemade.

Looking forward to continuing reading the wealth of information, and advice given by the forum users, and hopefully in time I’ll be in a position to assist others.

Regards,

Adrian

Welcome to the site Adrian. Your photo isn’t showing up on my screen – have you had a problem posting it? If so have a look at the FAQ section on the left hand column ofr the page.

Thankyou for your welcome. I copied the URL (Photobucket) as per this sites instructions but I’m not having any success in uploading the photograph.

Here is the website link for images of the tug; Wolraad Woltemade

Sadly this tug has been scrapped.

Hi Sea Dog!

If you need any reference photographs of the Wolraad Woltemade, I have some on-board pics that were taken aboard her sister ship, the John Ross, back in the seventies (when they were both newly-built). I’m pleased to report that the JR is still in service, now operating under the name ‘Smit Amandla’ out of Cape Town. She was built in Durban, whilst the Woltemade was UK-built (but I’m sure you already knew that!).

Incidentally, to view a couple of superb waterline models of these tugs, go to the following site:-

Inspiring reference material!

Best regards,

Glyn
