Club secretary Neil Hodson said: “It is eight boats he has attacked so far. They have all been recovered, some only just, but they suffer serious damage. He has been known to take off and fly to attack a boat. It is supposed to be a relaxing hobby, but if you are scared your pride and joy will be smashed it is not so relaxing.”

Obviously not for everyone...... in particular the swan

Noooooooo! That's probably the kind of talk that caused the Suffolk swan to lash out.

Swans - I used to hate them when I was canoeing.
Could these model boaters not build an explosive charge into a boat, and then send it out on the lake on a swan kamikaze mission?
