Not sure how much you chaps know about a very popular boat here in the US that goes under the name Nirvana ll. It has been very successful in the United States and in other parts of the world to. I have seen very little discussion on it on this forum.
Here in the States this boat enjoys the reputation of being one of, if the best starter boat. The Nirvana represents a design that has been distilled down to the most basic form, a functioning RC sailboat that has incorporated just about every criterion one would want in an RC Yacht of this type and size. The boat’s features include, but not limited to are: an attractive appearance, simple to assemble and fast to break down for transport to and from the pond or lake. The Nirvana is durable, provides it’s Skipper with trouble free operation, and is simple enough for a beginner to sail and complex enough to maintain the interest of advanced sailors alike. They can be sailed successfully in a wide range of wind and weather conditions and will provide fun for years to come without any additional expense. Not to mention they can be purchased at a very reasonable price, and they have excellent resale value.
History shows that most folks that buy them, keep them for years, often hand them down to a family member, off-spring or to a friend so they can share in the fun. The Nirvana is a recognized AMYA one design racing class and is raced around the world by many RC sailing clubs. One of the larger clubs is located here in Southern California having about 100 boats registered. There are many wonderful RC Yachts out there,including the Victoria, but few if any that can provide the same total value to their owners.
