The situation in the second video between the racing boat seems an honest accident. Distance and issues of parallax would make it easy for such a mistake to occur. The sub ramming the surface vessel in the first video seems inexcusable to me, as none of the difficulties present in the second video exist, so it is both a failure of simple courtesy, as well as a violation of the rules of navigation that brought about that first video sinking.

Still, it was interesting to see such drama on the "High Seas" Raphael ... so I thank you for adding those videos to the collection!

Bonjour,
Many thanks for the comments, and I note I have forgotten the videos not to be looked at before going to bed because of risk of nightmare  ;)

Bonjour à tous,

Thank you for your kind messages and your interest. The Aggrip tug is 1,45 m and about 30 kilos  >:( which is quite difficult to move.

It was for me the opportunuty to ask my friend Max a very original transmission, I wanted the two propellers to be independant with only one engine which is a 11 cm3 from Regner Germany.

I have not tested yet her on the water because her box is too large for my car... Since this video, the transmission has been enhanced with Oldham seals to suppress vibrations:

Here are a few others of another type, especially if you like "music"  ;)

Bonjour,
I have made more than 1 600 videos (!) on my passion these 12 last years, so I hope you will find interest in several of them  ;)

In fact, pulling is not so difficult, a horse was able to pull a 100 tons barge. Besides this, steam offers lots of possibilities to explore.   

Another part of my passion, speed (8 bar / 120 PSI max allowed):

With another compound, I reached almots ... 10 km/h but I was beaten by a boat going at ... 10 km/h and anoter at 12 km/h  >:(
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysNQ-Prq8II

There are also improbable boats, such as this trawler transformed into steam(I have to install the whistle I bought for her):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZF0wzhtRIwE

Or technical experiences like this two gear boxes tug boat which will also be able to pull me:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMjCdql1xek

Bons visionnages.

I didn't know those boats could be powerful enough to pull a raft! Amazing!

Bonjour Charlie,
Thank you to watch my French videos  ;) and you are right, once a year, a few swimming pools let us play with our steamers, but we are not allowed to be pulled.

Here is Meaux (also lnown for its famous mustard):

Amazing to see those little models pushing/pulling the full size  8)

Those ponds look to be a ton of fun!!  ;D

And based on other videos I have watched on Raphael’s YouTube Channel they also have access to a Natatorium for winter steaming.

Your yacht club has great setups and your fleet is awesome!


I love seeing the model tugs pulling full sized boats with riders.
