I have written about this small boat before and have been sent the photos on the internet.<br />
This is probably the oldest ride in model boat in the world. It is at the Bussleton butter factory<br />
museum. This photo was found on face book.<br />
The boat is I believe to be 12 feet 6 inches long made from steel sheet and angle iron.<br />

I have been researching <i>"Jumna</i>", a paddle wheel steam tug boat
which operated at the turn of the 20th Century in the small port of
Littlehampton, Sussex, UK. The Curator of the Littlehampton Museum
recently sent me a photocopy of an article from a modeling magazine
article dated August 1980. Here are the first three paragraphs of the
article which will clarify things.<br />
<br />
"Today, the little tug <i>"Jumna"</i> sits almost forlorn on the
verandah of the Busselton Museum, where people come and go
and take away a photo of a once proud steamship.<br />
<br />
<i>"Jumna"</i> first saw light in the imagination of a young boy in England when his eyes observed the real <i>"Jumna"</i> assisting vessels in and out of the Port of Littlehampton on the South Coast. <br />
<br />
Canon, or as he was known as <b>Rev. Robert Davies</b>, came to Western Australia and started his training in the ministry of the Church at Bussleton."<br />
<br />
The article describes him as one of "Australia's most prominent model
engineers". He apparently built a 12' 6" fully operating replica of <i>"Jumna"</i>
which was powered by a live steam engine and was large enough that
Rev. Davies and a passenger could ride in the model itself. The author
of the article was <b>Keith Watson</b> and it appeared in the August 1980 issue of "Live Steam" magazine which appears to be an American publication out of Michigan.<br />
<br />
The author describes the construction of the model which apparently
took place in the Busselton Rectory and it's quite detailed along with
drawings and technical information about the live steam plant. It
seems he knew Rev. Davies and describes in some length a trip he took
in the model.<br />
<br />
" To ride the <i>"Jumna"</i> was an experience I shall never
forget, and goes back to the late 1950's when I had the good fortune to
meet Canon and his wife Dulcie, who shared his love of steam."<br />
<br />
It seems this model was very well known in the town of Busselton as
must have been it's builder, and apparently even once transported the
Prince of Wales during a Royal visit.<br />
<br />
It would be fun to locate the model and re-establish it's connection
with the Museum at Littlehampton half a world away. It's even possible
the Rev. Davies is still alive today as <i>"Jumna"</i> operated at the Port Littlehampton up to around 1914.<br />
<br />
Any help in tracking this down would be appreciated, Derek, and as always, very best regards.<br />

I
live in Western Australia and know the Busselton, Western Australia,
Jumna well. In fact I lived alongside Jumna. I am Custodian of the late
designer/builder/operator/owner's Diary and Log Book recording her
"birth", history and decades of travel on the Vasse River. Our Jumna has
been refurbished and is displayed in the Busselton Historical Society's
Old Butterfactory Museum - I had the honour of unveiling the new
display on 20 January 2010. Jumna was modelled on Littlehampton’s PT
Jumna and normally carried three people, the owner operating the engine
plus two passengers but sometimes squeezed in a third. I have had a
close association with Jumna since 1948. My wife and I were honoured to
be invited by the owner, Canon Robert Davies, to accompany him on 6th
January 1963 during filming of a TV documentary. Unbeknown at that time
this trip was Jumna's last long trip. We have visited Littlehampton in
West Sussex and been honoured with a trip along the Arun River on the
Harbour Board's current Pilot Boat Jumna. I know PJ of Paddleducks well
having visited him in Canada. I have written a book on the history of
Busselton's Jumna. Unfortunately the article referred to in the 1980
Live Steam magazine has a number of errors of fact which could be taken
by a reader not knowing otherwise as "truth". Annoyingly it is not
possible to correct that particular article. Rest assured I have the
full story and facts in the aforementioned Diary and Log Book - it is a
wonderful historic document that I will donate to our Western Australian
State Reference Library called the Battye Library, where Western
Australia's records and history is kept. Jumna is a wonderful piece of
Busselton history and he builder Canon Robert Davies and extraordinary
man. Trips on his Jumna were free – he gave much pleasure over decades
to the people of Busselton and visitors alike, some being most famous
people. Anyone wanting accurate information on the Busselton Jumna is
welcome to email sandgroper2010@gmail.com</div>

The
Quadrofoil looks like a vehicle from a James Bond action sequence. But
while the world’s favorite spy seemingly has no regard for the
environment while he’s blowing things up, this <a href="http://www.quadrofoil.com/en/">personal hydrofoil</a> is powered by an eco-friendly electric motor.<br />
Created by three Slovenian engineers in just six months, the £12,000+
Quadrofoil has a top speed of around 25mph when it lifts out of the
water onto its set of four wings. The reduced drag not only lets the
electric craft reach those speeds with just a 3.7kW motor, but also with
a minimal amount of drain on its batteries.<br />
On just a one hour charge, the Quadrofoil has an impressive range of
up to 62 miles, which can be pushed even further thanks to a set of
fold-out solar panels that let you top off the battery when you’re away
from an outlet. And this is just the first generation model. The
Quadrofoil’s wings are apparently strong enough to support speeds of up
to 50mph, so future generations of the craft—with improved battery
technology—could feel like racing a waterborne super car.<br />

The seats slide on the black runners to adjust the weight to get the
right trim. Power is either 30lb thrust electric outboard or 3.3hp
outboard. It rows easily as well. This is a stable platform and will be used for photography on the local river, The Shoalhaven. It is 12 feet long.There is four fishing rod holders. Fully loaded it draws 300mm. There is room to sleep between the black bars when the seats are removed. Plastic boxes are tied to the black bars to hold all the gear for the trip and these rest in the top yellow hulls.Raefhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02940475694408510246noreply@blogger.com2
