Powered by the wind, with sails trimmed and rudder set by remote control, yachts of  various classes race an Olympic course with all the excitement of a full size boat.  So, if you're an "old Salt" who enjoys racing or if your out for an afternoon's sail, then this is for you.

  R/C Racing is fun ! 
For Sailors interested in racing you will find, that there are several international RC sailboat classes. The races follow the same ideas as for full-sized boats. The courses are varying from the standard Olympic triangle course to the most recent types. 
.

 How it works
R/C stands for Remote Control. The boats are equipped with a radio receiver controlling the rudder servo and the sail winch. The sailor stands on the shore and using the radio transmitter the boats are controlled. Only by the wind drives the boat - engines are not allowed.

 The boats
Some of the RC-sailboats are constructed of hi-tech materials such as Kevlar and carbon fiber. The advanced boat constructor and do-it-yourself model builder will enjoy building his/her own boat from scratch or using various kits or parts available on the market.
