Title: Little sailing dinghies
Post by: Nordsee on December 08, 2010, 04:12:59 pm

While reading a Show report in a German model paper, I saw this photo, the dinghy's look fascinating, I wondered if anyone knows if they are a kit or produced to a Formula such as the Footy. Look rather pretty, do you think the figure moves when you change heading?

I like it, but as you say very like a open footy

They are so similar, must be a Kit or Club one design. Like to have one,  now plus 50% that would make her......
