  • She's a pretty ship,how would you compare her handling, to say, a schooner rig? Tried nothing but sloops before,but this little baby intrigues me! Is that main controlled by a winch or just a pre-set?

  • The main sail is winch controlled, the foremast rotates by servo control.

    I have only sailed this and yachts - never tried a schooner - I will pm the links to you

  • is it motor powered??

  • No it is powered by sails

    You will notice there is no prop wash

see all

  • Beautiful and relaxing.

  • sink sink sink

  • If you would film your ship from a better wiew and put more realistic sound on the video, i wouldn't see the difference between your rc boat and the real one

    greetings from switzerland

  • i am gonna try to start a club that makes these and arms them with bb guns like the ww2 rc ships that engage in rc naval combat.

  • i've got a few guestions about her: How does she handle waves thats 3-5 cm high?.

    and how strong does the wind need to be before she falls? (or whatever you can say)

    'cuz i think i will start to make a rc sailship, which can handle greenlandic lakes...

  • The rigging detail and method used to control the sails is detailed on the RC Ships page of my website - it is too complex (long winded?) to explain here :)

  • I know how that is.. how did you find the rigging of the squares to go? Ive so far stuck to schooners for my RC sailers, i'm totally anxious about taller square rigs!

  • A stunning ship which no doubt pleases the fortunate onlooker, well done!
