Just learned that RC Sailboats are a thing and now I need one..

An RC sailboat has to be the most relaxing thing I’ve ever heard of. Could you imagine going sailing every Sunday morning without all the actual work of sailing??
Bout to buy this ole girl and take her out on the Mississippi

Oooo it’s a “racing yacht”

Couple of the guys here have sailboats.

I've got a decent size pond in my neighborhood that would love one of those

I legit am looking into this. Hopefully can get some input from them. We’ve got a decent sized pond at one of the local parks that may offer a good practice space

Get me one

@remote uncontrol and @Xraycer both have sail boats. I believe both are the Seawind too.

Get a retrieval boat or a way to get it back. I almost drowned this summer trying to retrieve mine. It lost signal 200 ft off shore. Never saw it again.

If you put it on the Mississippi you better have a 1:1 recovery boat

We both have the Fortune 612

I grew up on the Illinois river and spent a bit of time on the Mississippi, you ain’t gonna swim to retrieve it or count on another rc boat to recover it unless you keep it close to shore, but you show St. Louis area, barge traffic is a killer

Entertaining? Should I invest??

I’ve lost a plane and a drone, time for a boat

You have to enjoy rc on the slower, chill side. Like, I enjoy crawlers more than I do speed and jumps.

I spent some time in Mississippi when I was younger. I used to drive across the levee and picnic right on the bank of the Mississippi river. That is one powerful big ass river. I wouldnt want to try swimming in it, even close to shore lol

Not to mention there are huge alligators, sharks, and catfish big enough to swallow you.

Sail boats are cool but I believe mine will have to say brap brap brap brap.

Quit playing with your dingy.

 

[remote uncontrol]

Yes get it. I would say it’s my best Rc purchase. Especially since it only cost me fifty bucks

 

[Roog]

It is a very interesting corner of the RC world, my father and i sailed a A class boat, it has fairly realistic classic ocean going lines. I learned to sail with it, but just as with the real thing you usually have the most fun in the winter when the weather is a bit hard going.

I’ll see if I can dig out a picture
