Splashing an old refurbished RC sailboat 

Thank you for your kind words, I’m glad you appreciate the boat!

Thank you for your comment, I agree, she’s beautiful!

Thank you! 😊

Thanks Jonathan, appreciate your kind comments!

Thanks, yes she’s lovely, and with a wooden mast and boom she’d be even more so.

Exactly why I couldn’t resist buying & refurbishing her 😀

Thanks!

Glad you like it, and of course I agree!

Tack, kul att du uppskattar den. Jag får själv inte nog av att se på den, tycker hon är väldigt tjusig. Då hon inte seglas står hon på första parkettplats hemma!

Thanks Alan for your kind words! I should have filmed and documented the refurbishment, but unfortunately I didn’t. If I have time later on I might follow up with a description as you suggest. Briefly though, I fell in love with it when I spotted a sales advertisement on internet, bought it and realised it needed some refurbishing. The deck had a few cracks where the old glue had aged. I stripped it of the old varnish and started cutting up the areas where there were cracks. After gluing with epoxy and sanding I started to stain the deck. A total of eight layers of varnish (Epifanes) was then applied. The rigging is original, I have not modified it. The winches however, the radio transmitter and receiver have all been replaced. The installation of the winches deserves a special video, but I used an old scrapped IKEA curtain rod to enable the adjustment of the position of the winches. Hope to post a video describing this better some day, but right now I don’t have the time unfortunately.

Agree, she’s wonderful!

I’ll put out more once I have filmed her again!

Thanks, glad you like it! The camera used onboard is a DJI Osmo Action with ND filter (4). Best, Christofer

@@hallbergrassy352 Thank you Christofer, I will try it on my Bristol Pilot Cutter model, I don't think it is quite as heavy as your wonderful yacht!

I see, my boat is approximately 20 kg 😅

Any idea if the plans are available? What is it called?

Are plans available?
