Action on the lake

While having a walk around Hamilton Lake yesterday, I came across a yacht race. These remote controlled yachts are very cool. It is such a quiet sport and all the 'pilots' were men, who were so engrossed in the racing that they didn't even have time to communicate with each other!

No communicating as they're racing each other! Great collage :)

Excellent catch. No accounting for boys and their toys ;-)

[Maggiemae]

This is an amazing hobby - they have to be good at making these lovely wee boats, installing and working the radio controls! But the design is all important!

Excellent collage Dianne, each image beautifully captured, its not only boys that race RC yachts in the UK, you need very good eye to hand coordination to race these type of yachts:)

[Pat Knowles]

I have watched these guys & their boats many times! Did you walk all round the lake then go for a coffee?

[Joyce]

Great collage and what a fun way to spend time.

[Dianne]

@happypat yes - we often go to Hamilton to watch hockey and walk around the lake as it is next to the turf.

[Paula W]

What lovely colours they are.

[Margaret Brown]

I know what you mean, my hubby has one too!, nice capture of big boys toys!

[Elsie T]

Colourful collage showing this popular pastime.

[Babs]

Fabulous collage, serious business yacht racing. Boys and their toys.

[Milanie]

This is so neat! Bet it was fun to watch them. I hadn't heard of remote-controlled yachts before (though I can see the attraction) Your timing was great to catch these.

[Rachel]

Hehe, boys and their toys! We have a group of old guys that do that near us too.

Lovely images, great collage
