Title: Vic Smeed Starlet
Post by: shadysadie on August 14, 2019, 02:57:18 pm

Greetings folks.


I have been building and sailing various electric powered boats for many years, both brushed and brushless, but thought that I would try good old wind power for a change. Last year I purchased the Aeronaut "Bella" yacht kit and thanks to the articles from ChrisG and Pearlsfirstmate plus a few uprated parts from Nylet it has turned out to be a cracking little sailboat.


I now want to build something slightly bigger and made of wood but still fairly basic and not too fast so I have ordered the "Starlet" wood pack from Belair and the corresponding plans from Serik.




I don't think that the plans include the build log for this model so please does anybody out there have this information as I would find it most helpful. Naturally, I will pay for copying costs and postage.


Thanks, David.

The build pamphlet .pdf should be in your email. Some other relevant scans should follow.
