I hope to get it sailing on the local pond one of these days.

Well if you ever travel to the Newcastle area drop me a line because I've a 1/96 HMS Illustrious hull with all the fittings gathering dust in the garage which you can have.

Not sure Mr Mat could afford to have that shipped to Australia, nor that it would arrive in one piece....

I had an RC yacht, many moons ago, sadly long since sunk in a house move, but my crowning moment was rescuing a non-RC sailboat on the local boating pond which had been becalmed, I tacked across to it and managed to nudge it back to the waiting kid and his Dad at the side.
