Anyone out there doing R/C boats with no engines ? A T37 racing sloop [ https://www.amya.org ] from https://www.tippecanoeboats and a BAT-2 wheeled sailboat / land-yacht from https://www.modellandyachts.com are in my building que. Also, has anyone seen an RC model of the COUSTEAU SOCIETY'S ALCYONE/CALYPSO 2 FLETTNER ROTORSAIL SHIP built in 1985 ? A similar rotor sail bluewater ship was built in 1925 and first experiments went as far back as 1814. SAIL SCALE- would like to see sailing models of the LUTHER LITTLE and the HESPER too. Actually reached out and touched the wrecks of these two magnificent Ships in Wiscasset, ME before they burned in 1978 :-( If it rained after the fire, it was probably the tears of Yeongdeung Halmang [ ヨンドゥンハルマン ].

I have enough problem chasing down powered boats weather from a flip over or running out of range or gas. when the wind is blowing on a lake it's to choppy to run anyway

Thank you for at least taking the time to read my post. Whenmy boats due in the water, J have a SPRINGER RESCUE TUG to nudge them back to me. You are right about WIND CHOPPED WATERS TOO. I have to do something to increase my TUGSTER'S fretboard and rough-water handling. Thanks for bringing this up :)

I have a gator air boat that I hook a length of floating dock line with a float that has hooks on it,View attachment 142728 I circle around and catch the other boat then drag it in.
Like your collection of RPVS; trucks, boats, and a tank. I do not see any QUADS though. Do you know about the SPRY+ from https://www.swellpro.com which is A QUAD AND BOAT ! I sure would like one of these pricey little buggers and maybe a DORY SUBMERSIBLE QUAD from https://www.chasing.com as well.
 
I have 5 drones.
dji pantom 4 pro
dji air mini 2
and some cheaper ones
