Lil' Yachts

_8024601

Doin' their lil' yacht thing. Super fun remote controlled boats. Two channel, one for steering one for sail trim. When you are driving a real size boat you can get a feel for how much water is moving past the rudder. This is very important, via the fact that boats don't turn when they aren't moving forward. Since you have no feel on a lil yacht you have a hard time gauging turns, tacks, and jybes. Eventually one figures how to get out of irons and move. Then comes the hard part, actually sailing well. Ugh. Enjoy, jon
