このボートについて

Hi there, this is the only pic I have of Virgin Atlantic Challenger on the water, which I built from 'free' plans in a model boats magazine - built all of lite ply - powered by 7.4 NiCad batteries - and there is a Race 5

    This model is a work in progress I did by scaling and redrawing the magazine drawing photos in Autocad.

    It was done as a build sample a number of years ago when I had students in my design class building models from door skin in my scrap box. Most of the material I used was later bored out and lightened with balsa filler, but it is still way heavier than it should be. I will have to finish detailing and get it painted.

    Sorry I haven't been around. Cancer, on the mend now.

    Hi John,

    Interesting rudder assembly!
    I've never seen anything like that.
    How does she handle going astern?

    Cheers, Ed

    Hi there
    the plans were free issued in Model Boats July 1995 - they are a very simplified version of the real boat. They are very straightforward and easy to build from. Magazine Exchange has a copy of the magazine - but I don't think the plans are with it from their website.

    but this gives you an idea what to look for - the Magazine - together with plans attached - do often come up on Ebay.

    To answer your question about the rudder; I just wanted to keep the rudder as per plan and sail the model as its fun to sail as it is - as you can see on the short video. By the way I do apologise for the video - the camera person was getting used to her new phone :-)

    John

    This is a nice looking yacht. Where did you get the plans from? I would like to have a go at this one for my next build. Have you tried changing the rudder for a more conventional one?
