Yamaha Rtw Sailing Picts

Recommended Posts

For something a bit different...

3 time out sailing this year / spring, first time someone had a camera.

The mighty Yamaha being chased by a smaller Robbe. Wind was bit OTT at times but was good to get the old girl out.

Sailing is always fun :PB):D

And under some photos of the Kyosho Seawind after some loving late last year with new sails and more effective rudder. She's now called The Black Fin, lol

It's really a wonderful form of RC. :)

Beautiful. When you get down low to watch them, under a gentle wind, the realism is so impressive. I have the Tamiya Yamaha 40EX, and with it's delicate deck fencing, steering wheel and seating area was quite a nice model to put together (though these parts are fragile). I was also fortunate enough to find a rare Tamiya Adspec Sailing radio set from Canada (long discontinued), which has the ratchet control, and kept the whole project "Tamiya" branded (even though it's Futaba underneath).

I have a good sized dam on my property and in fact haven't yet sailed her there yet, so I need to get out and do that soon. Thanks for posting about these little-discussed models B)
