Need help and advice please.
« on: Today at 05:37:40 pm »


good afternoon all,


New boy here , Dave North Bristol, not far from Portishead. I started in RC decades ago, not so much building models but just putting a couple of bulkheads and a Murco 61 ( i think) remember them ? into a GRP hull... I've played with helicopters since.... hmm, expensive.
The point of my post ... i've recently been given a 30 year plus one metre yacht, i've put  new radio etc and it sails ok  and i'm enjoying " learning " how to sail it.


Being an older chap i would like to build something more traditional... made of wood. I've been looking at the Aero-naut Bella and Bellisima.... would i be correct in thinking the Bella would be a better option for me to start with ?, or other suggestion maybe.


Thanks in advance.


Dave.

Not a kit but a set of plans to build your own yacht and if required an instruction book https://www.racingsparrow.co.nz/
