Dear All,
I have spent ages looking for details of small model yachts to build, plans,
hulls etc. with no luck at all.
Plenty of info about rules and regs, but nothing of any use to a prospective
builder.
I know about the Koyosho boats, but I want to build something about the same
size to sail on my local pond.
Can anyone help please?
Tony

With all due respect to those wishing to build own models from raw
materials, the cost of both material and time is greater than the latest
pre-packaged kitsets from say the very popular Thunder Tiger yacht range,
for example =
http://www.acehobby.co.nz/ossb2/root/Newproduct/ThunderTigerYacht.asp
latest models are said to be due into warehouse today, with 1M Voyager
priced at US$189 ex GST, The new Victoria Mk2 at US$139 ex GST and the
Odyssey at US$105 ex GST.

Scratch build your own hull by built up wood frame or mold and fibreglass
