    Thumbs up Re: The Sailboat Thread!

    You may want to consider a remote controlled boat that has a skimmer net attached to it! Pool cleaning was never so fun....I got it at a store called "Leslie's Pool supplies in Phoenix.....good luck..

    There are international RC sailboat races as well. You could turn your eyeball jets upwards and put a fan or two beside the pool for a "Perfect Storm."

    I had an rc sail boat for about 1 month. I took it to Lake Powell and it was a blast to sail while relaxing with a cold one on the swim deck. a couple nights into the trip we rafted up in a canyon and I left it floating between the boats.. The next morning it was gone. the wind picked up and it just took off I guess. Not very bright on my part.

    I'm stil not sure how it got past the spring lines that were hanging in the water

    Now that I have a pool, I figure I need to find a small one..

    I've got the little speedboats. They make terrible tugboats. Heck, you can't even balance a beer on one.

    I've been thinking that the innards from the RC boat could be mounted to a small cooler. That would make for a nice "Container Ship" methinks.
