Modern 12mR scale RC yacht sailing 

Thank you! I built this boat 7 years ago. I´m still happy with it, but has improved the quality over the years. thanks, Lars

If you search with Google, you can find the plans for Courageous US26

Hi, this is a model of US26 Courageous, a 12 metre that won the America's Cup 1974 and 77.

Thanks Harvey, I know. usually you can ice skate where we sailed yesterday. Looks like the "warm" weather is here for the next 10 days too.

Harvey Ducourneau not everywhere, the fleuve isn’t

Sorry for late reply. Do you mean a finished keel in lead? I don't usually take on projects, since I have enough of my own. Don't you think you can make it yourself?

I mostly only use 2 channels. I'm thinking of adding more functionality to my next build, but usually sheet in and out and steering the rudder is plenty good. Gives an easy to sail experience.

It's a 12 metre boat. It was a bit too windy at times for all the canvas I had hoisted.

Too close hauled.

Thank you! I'm building Australia II right now. More to come.

I still have the mold.. Lars

Thank you! I'm currently building sheet systems for four 12mR's in scale 1:10, and hope to have 3 or 4 ready to sail later this spring.

Thank you! I'm currently building Australia II in scale 1:10. America's Cup winner from 1983.

Thank you! It was filmed during winter here in Sweden. About as much light there was that day. I still have the boat. Sitting in the back room. Thanks, Lars

Thanks! I'm working hard on it. New video this weekend. :) //Lars

I also sail model boats, you can tell when one is well made just by looking at it. Yours was done very nice, you should be proud of your workmanship.

@@donb4138 Thanks Don!

It is a real yacht. Not large enough to carry people, but very real.

Thanks! Sorry for late reply! //Lars
