My first sail boat build.

Man the rigging was a real pain, but she's ready. Definitely a learning experience

If you think the rigging was a pain wait till you sail it.LOL Honestly, sailing is an art in itself. I highly recommend you find some other people to sail with. It is a million times more fun sailing with or competing against other model boats. My 15 year old daughter is a natural and wins quite a few regattas against adults. I guess all the video games pay off for something.

Hahaha! Yes sir I hear that, unfortunately I'm probably the only living individual in the surrounding area that even owns a sailboat, much less an rc one lol

Sharpies work great for detailing Mylar and adding Sail Numbers. While some use vinyl for Class, County, Sail Numbers, Sharpies are the preferred choice. Paint and Vinyl tend to stiffen the sail area they are applied to. Which you dont want affecting the shape.
