Having had a bit of a natter off forum about this subject, I just wondered what was happening in the real world (of model boats that is ).
I've subscibed to the thinking that larger models sail better since returning to the fold, but there have been a few articles in the model boat press lately that contradict this in as much as the smaller models reported sailed ok.
The reason I'm asking is that I spend a lot of time away in my camper van during the summer, and don't have the space to take large models with me. So I was considering the purchase of a footy kit from Scalesailing a "pintail" (I don't normally do kits, but have done for others), but then I read that a gaff rigged version the "Helen" is coming shortly on the US products list so decisions...decisions!!
The upshot is I could probably take two yachts at this scale with me, and zero of the larger ones, so I could buy both (if I don't get found out by SWMBO).
I am aware of the popularity of these little yachts, and I am drawn to them, but I'd just like a bit of honest opinion before I part with my ill gotten gains please.
