Sales blurb ...
Based on America's Cup Class racing yachts, the SEAWIND looks just as good as it sails. Manufactured from hardened ABS and aluminium with tear-resistant main and jib sails, the Seawind builds into a little work of art. The one-piece ABS hull is designed for minimum drag and optimum water penetration. With a model as big as this, transportation could have been a problem. However, Kyosho have designed the SEAWIND so that the mast, rudder, keel and keel weight can all be easily removed for travelling. The keel weight is covered by a rubber boot for improved appearance and safety to water life. A boat stand is supplied with the kit so that the SEAWIND can be displayed when not in use as well as offering a stable support during building or when at the boating lake.
The model comes with comprehensive detailed instructions on the assembly and sailing of the model together with comprehensive decal sheets. The SEAWIND is a model which is sailed worldwide and is great on detail and sailing performance - Almost like the real thing
Details * Length 998mm * Width 226mm * Height 1,850mm * Total Weight approx. 3,000g * Sail area Total .39m²
Only items required to complete which are not included - 2 Channel Radio with a standard servo for rudder control and larger stronger sail servo
Yet another E-bay bargain ...... this one really is!
For just over a hundred quid, I got a ready made Kyosho SeaWind yacht, including quality radio control - with high powered batteries, brand new after-market sails - better than the original and a peak voltage detecting fast charger.
The boat sailed brilliantly - see pictures towards the bottom of the page.
My movie making is getting a little better yachts are much more interesting to watch on video set to music.
Above: much larger than the Sea Dolphin. I can now sail at the same time as one of the kids.
Left : very high quality servos - fast and high torque.
Below: high quality after market sails - made of Dacron.
Above, right: about to set off. With a bit of thought, it all fits in - even Charlie.
Below: the first 'sea trials' very enjoyable in fairly light winds.
