Boats / Projects

-Marc
Running a 3.5 Prestwich Model Lightning with the famous Tuning Pipe Controller (TPC). The TPC is an invention of Marc. That's a microprocessor that monitors the RPM of the engine and changes the length of the exhaust accordingly. The exhaust has a travelling distance of approx. 3 cm. To all you who know something about boating: that's super! When you dive in a corner, the exhaust lengthens by 3 cm rapidly, and as the RPM goes up, it comes back closer step by step. You can adjust the RPM when it should lengthen and come back in very easy, due to hex-switches (15 positions). Already several top-racers (national and international) are racing with Marc's system. You can see the TPC at the World Champs in Hungary, where I will be racing it in 3.5. This system (Microprocessor, manual, instructions how to make the sliding part) is now up for sale!

-Peter

Running an old 7.5 Prestwich boat, which is now ready for the garbage bags. Pictures here show the new Beta being built. The boat is almost ready and can be viewed at Hamminkln for the first time. Will be built with the TPC. More pictures to come.


-Koen
He threw away my old Tornado, and the pictures below show the new PPSKT being built. Boat will be ready this week, and will race its first heats at Boussu for BC Round 3 in 2 weeks. TPC already installed.






-Wim

 

 

Running his M. Braghieri 15cc boat for the rest of the season. Looking for a new boat to build for next year regatta's.




-Dries
Running a Zhao Bo World Champion boat in 3.5cc. Boat is good, but a little bit to heavy for today's standards. Will be running this one, or a Lightning at the World Champs. Boat is yellow for the moment, but will change soon.















-Our trailer
It has arrived! We've ordered a new trailer because we need more space! It measures 2,5 m in length, 1,5m high and wide. You can follow the build up here, cause we're going crazy at this ones interior. More to come later!
