**Title:** Maiden Voyage of the Toy Boater (RC Amphibious Vehicle)
**Objective:** Successfully complete a channel crossing with a custom-built, amphibious toy boat (inspired by Top Gear).
**Key Events:**
1. Initial launch: The toy boat enters the water, floats, and moves forward.
2. Challenges:
* Outboard motor takes on water, stopping the boat mid-channel.
* Wind pushes the boat back, hindering progress.
3. Recovery: The boat, though damaged, is able to drive out of the water under its own wheel power.
4. Second Attempt: Planned with adjustments (e.g., constant velocity setting, launching into the waves).
**Outcome:**
* The toy boat did not complete the channel crossing as intended.
* However, it successfully entered and exited the water twice under its own power, with the wheels aiding in recovery.
**Conclusion:**
The project was deemed entertaining and a valuable learning experience. The creator is motivated to improve and try again with adjustments.
