Hi mayhemmers,
Years ago I had a lesro 575 which would be ideal for me now as it's relatively small with not much draft, ideal for the quarry pit lake.
I had contact with a chap who had one but feel it's cost would be beyond my reach.
What kits are available these days, not tooo big with shallow draft ?
Thanks

In the great U S of, that would fetch about $5000

Thanks for the replies...5k dollars ! Are they mad ?
They where a nice kit, enjoyable to make, dry boat that sailed well and good fun, but not 5k's worth, I want one to sail on the local lake .

Have you looked at the advert..... where did you come up with $5000....... the advert says £20...

I recognise that boat. Im sure it was mine a few years back....my first yacht. Didnt know how to rig it so swapped it for an airfix e boat. Would love to own one know i know about yachts!!
Ps inside the hull was yellow sticky tspe!
-
Ps, for £20 i would have it!!@ i cannot see the advert though!!
-
£20, me too, the race is on !

Just to clarify, the lesro 575 as in the picture above, has a "bilge keel" design/shape hull ?
-
In the great U S of,
Clue is in the currency

if you want a small yacht kit of similar proportions without too deep a keel, how about a Graupner micro Magic?

Yes, the instructions tell you how to fill it full of lead shot and plaster of paris. Works a treat. :-))

Looks like a fin keel to me, but I could be wrong 🙄
