The radio controlled (R/C) sailboat is a popular form of boating which offers excitement, relaxation or scale realism, whichever you choose, and inexpensive operating costs. Radio controlled sailboats are completely wind powered and operate by the same principles as full-scale sailboats. One channel of the radio controls the sails (main and jib) via a sail servo. The sails can be taken in or let out according to your point of sail. A second channel controls the rudder. Sailboats are usually classed by sail area or by hull length. "Overall race results are mainly determined by the level of concentration of the boat's skipper." (jca, June 2004.) |

31" hull, 43" mast, 4 1/2 lbs weight. 2 channel radio. The building and rigging of a Victoria Class sailboat can be as simple or as challenging as you desire. (cost of parts and components: including the radio controls... anywhere between $300 - $600 cdn) (OK.. maybe a whole lot of modifications) that you will want to make that will dramatically improve both the reliability and boat speed of your Victoria.
