I have had a comment that i may be a bit ambitious starting on sail,and that motor would be easier to handle.
I have used motor power since I first started motorised model boat building in 1963.
the model lifeboat I am now building and will be operated under sail, is my only venture ever into scale............and with all my experience I feel trepidation, and am unsure as to how she will sail..........but that is all part of the fun of model boat building, and we all learn as we go.
Have fun, enjoy your model and above all, build and sail for yourself, not for others that stand by and watch.
good luck and enjoy it as I hopefully will with mine.
