In stock again!
Together with my fellow umpires and board members in the DMTRA we've managed to make a reasonable set of magnetic boats for the use as educational tools and also as models in the protest room. Without any moving parts, but still magnetic so they stick to a white board.The ones we all use with the movable sails are just a little too expensive and the sails tend to get looser and looser all the time. They are also very hard to "move" on the white-board.
Our set has a "cut out" shape for the sail, just flip the model (it sticks on both sides) if you want to change tack. And the magnets are just a tad thicker than the boats, so you can get them of the board easy.
There are two different sets:
FOR MATCHRACING:
All parts spread out on the box. |
The Matchrace set consists of:
- three numbered blue boats (1, 2 and 3);
- three numbered yellow boats (1, 2 and 3);
- two RC-boats in red, for starting and/or finishing vessels;
- two rubber boats in red, for umpire and/or wing;
- four marks, also red;
- two arrow indicators in red (wind, current, tide, or whatever);
- all in a sturdy box, with room for more.
FOR FLEETRACING
The Fleetrace set consists of:
- three numbered blue boats (1, 2 and 3);
- three numbered yellow boats (1, 2 and 3);
- three numbered green boats (1, 2 and 3);
- three numbered red boats (1, 2 and 3);
- one RC-boat in red, for starting and/or finishing vessels;
- one rubber boats in red, for umpire and/or wing;
- four marks, also red;
- two arrow indicators in red (wind, current, tide, or whatever);
- all in a sturdy box, with room for more.
Price for a Matchrace set is €48,- and for the Fleetrace set € 64,- (including VAT.)
(Since shipping/posting is so varied, that price is exclusive of shipping costs)
But the box fits (even with a padded envelope) in the mailbox, so it shouldn't be that expensive.
Somewhere around € 6,- depending on the weight.
Paypal seems to be the easiest and most economical way to pay. transaction cost are about 3.5%
In the box; ready for travel |

Key question - what do they look like to an airport security scanner?!?! :-)
ReplyDeleteGood question, Zaphod. I don't know yet. I suspect the boats will not light up like the other ones, it's just plastic, but the small magnets probably do. So a series of small points/dot?. I'll ask next time I pass a scanner if I can have a look at the screen....
DeleteFrank, You ordered one kit trough this comment box.
