Clipper Yacht Sail Boat - Beginners Traditional Wooden Kit from Aero-Naut

The Clipper is a sailing boat which forms an excellent choice for that first step into the world of model boating. The boat makes an ideal pond yacht and can be operated free-running, i.e. without a control system, or radio control with a single servo for the rudder.

The hull is of simple construction, and is assembled directly on the underside of the deck, i.e. the bulkheads, keel and centreboard are simply slotted in and glued in place. The hull bottom and sides are supplied pre-cut from thin plywood, and are ready to glue to the structure.

The ballast on the centreboard is a piece of round steel rod, replacing the lead usually employed. With this boat the young modeller quickly learns the essential techniques of built-up hull construction, as well as a basic knowledge of model sailing.

The kit is very carefully prepared, with the result that no tools at all are required to build the model; all the wooden parts are die-cut, and the aluminium tubing for the mast and boom is already cut to the correct lengths. Pre-formed wire fittings are provided, ready for sliding onto the aluminium tubes.

All you need to construct the model is modelling pins, adhesive tape and glue. The kit includes all the wooden parts and fittings required to build the boat including the rudder and comprehensive building instructions in German and English.

A perfect choice for the beginner!
