This model is scaled from the lines drawing of the 42.01 ft long hull. The upwind working mechanism is part of this hull version. The up-wind working mechanism makes the model so much easier and more efficient to operate as a sailboat. This mechanism performed splendidly. The total weight of the model when sailing is about 54 lbs. |

Production models will have a stepped mast and a break just above the lower spreader set,
so that the model can be stored in a more compact box. The box can be placed on a special wagon
in order to move it.
The model is completed and in test today. As test progress changes may be made to insure its proper working. Preliminary shots of the sailing R/C model below. |

View showing rudder motor Model hull trials found the hull to be very easy to handle. The hull turns on a time and can be turned around on its axis using both engine reverse and forward, and rudder manipulation. |

The owner of www.captainsmodels.com, the fabricator of the model, in control of the remote-controlled model. Unfortunately, it was a rather calm for sailing. The boat tested as a good sailer. With the present ballast distribution and without reefs in the sails she can sail in winds up to 15 knots. The high-angled cut of the foot of the jib is to facilitate control of both sheets from the same winch. The jib foot is outfitted with a flexible plastic tube.
