Modeled after the schooners that compete in the prestigious America’s Cup, this authentically detailed remote-controlled yacht assembles in less than 15 minutes and courses through water like a full-scale racing yacht in winds up to 20 knots. The streamlined, composite hull produces minimal drag, allowing the yacht to make headway while piercing waves at speeds up to 6 knots. The carbon-fiber main mast and tear-resistant Mylar sails withstand wind gusts up to 23 mph, while the authentic rigging scheme and fully-proportional, metal-geared sail winch servo allow trim changes of sail for close reach, broad reach, or running with the wind.
