4.0 out of 5 stars Getting Started In Model Yachts, December 19, 1999

This review is from: Radio Control Model Yachts (Paperback)

This book gives details about the different classes of radio controlled yachts and materials they are made from. It describes how a yacht actually sails without a motor and gives a detailed explanation of how radio control works. It lacks a little on where to start looking for plans etc. It should cover more on sail construction as this can be very daunting to the newcomer unless the can afford to buy sails ready made. If you are looking to get into radio controlled yachting then this book is a good place to start as there are also a few tactics described as well as pages devoted to getting the maximum speed from your yacht and tuning out any problems you may have.
