I made a H.A.Kits "Thames slipper launch" to keep me occupied while waiting on my J Class hull to be delivered. I thoroughly enjoyed the build but wasn't too sure what to do with a powerboat as sailing is my thing. I had a GoPro hero 9 which has amazing gimbal functions built into the camera and mounted it on a sail winch servo stuck to the deck with blue tack. This is the first outing.....really, I needed 3 hands to operate everything so will change the control input layout, however the results aren't bad. Rick's Velsheda looks fantastic on the water and once I have sorted the control systems out I am pretty sure some really good footage will be had. Looking forward to another outing in stronger winds. Rick has also worked on a camera boat with more functions and a better camera so looking forwards to seeing what he comes up with.
