This book covers theory for each hull type and then details a practical application of that theory. Racing strategies are set forth from the point of design, and they're based on the idea that models must be easy to control so that when it comes to racing, full concentration can be focused on driving. 64 pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent source for setting-up model powerboats,
By
This review is from: Advanced R/C Boat Modeling (Paperback)
I particularly appreciated the excellent information on how to set-up each type of hull (Vee hulls, catamarans, and hydros/outriggers). Essential if you want to build a model boat and enjoy it without struggling with many handling problems. Also a good source if you want to optimize or modify your "Ready-To-Run" powerboat model to get more speed.
Thanks to this book I started with the easyest type of hull, and after 6 months of joy I am builing a tunnel hull. Without the book I probably would have abandoned the hobby, frustrated with a boat flipping over at every turn, or taking off on the straights.
