__Line Control Model Sailboats___________
Learn about sailing and sailboat design with this unique hobby and craft. We show you how
to apply basic design fundamentals to custom rig your wooden sail boat using simple methods
and easy to find 'scratch' materials.
Then comes the fun part. 'What kites are to air, our model sailboats are to water.'
Take your rig to the beach, and put your creation to the test, our sailboats more than
'really sail', you sail them under control as you wade through the water, at close range,
or let it sail off hundreds of feet, as you explore the shoreline and shoal areas.
The line control model sailing method is a simple, pure form of sailing.
A kite spool loaded with fishing line puts you at the helm, giving you hand control of the sail
trim and the boats direction of travel.
Unlike radio control and pond boats...with heavy ballast. We give you a functional centerboard sailboat.
An adjustable centreboard 'keel' lets you properly ballance your hull/sail plan. (and also sail in water only a few inches deep!)
The sail plan is your creation, they can be made to be a simple single sail design, or a complex multiple sail rig.
Excellent exercise, giving you a realistic sailing experience in miniature.
Complete with all the challenges that come with sailing. Tacking windward, coming about, and if if you suffer a "knockdown",
it can easily be retrieved by just reeling it in.
