We developed a 107cm long carbon sailing model boat with canting keel and backstay adjustment, both radio controlled. This video shows the 9 boats which used by the VOLVO OCEAN RACE in the stopover harbours for racing. And our testing of two boats on the lake "Alster" in Hamburg City in the Winter.

  • With a canting keel you can reduce the keel weight. A lighter boat will achieve more speed.
