RC T27 Sailboat - Racing Sloop
An
RC Sailboat built of wood has a special beauty and gives a special
pleasure out on the water. Fast and elegant, the T27 is a model
sailboat that not even the Rockefellers could have had for their
lake estate due to the technology of radio control not being available
at the time. A lakeside estate would certainly have had beautiful
wooden free-sailing model sailboats as part of the lakeshore equipment.
The T27 rc sailboat with its gleaming varnished wood is as beautiful
as any of the traditional free-sailing wooden model yachts of
the past century. Light and strong, the T27 is a simply terrific
sailboat. Throw the rudder over with the rc rudder control and
the boat whips around onto her new course like a bird swerving
in flight. If you have seen swallows chasing insects in the evening
sky, the T27 RC Sailboat has that same swiftness and maneuverability.
One rc servo controls the rudder. The second rc servo controls
both sails on this swift sailboat.
We developed this boat for people
who wanted a beautiful rc sailboat for their pools, smaller ponds,
or to sail from their larger cruising boat. The mast comes out
in less than a minute so this rc sailboat stores easily on board
a cruising boat. It is great fun sailing the T27 RC Sailboat across
the harbor in the late afternoon from the cockpit of your big
sailboat or power cruiser. Although the T27 RC Sailboat is a good
size for smaller areas like swimmiing pools and small ponds, we
also sail this fast rc sailboat out on large lakes and even in
the open waters of Puget Sound. Since half the weight of the T27
RC Sailboat is in the ballast casting at the bottom of the keel,
it is impossible for this capable little sailboat to capsize.
The cockpit is sealed watertight so the T27, like the larger T37
RC Sailboat, is very seaworthy. The T27 kit comes complete with
everything except paint, varnish and batteries. All of the radio
control gear is included. The hull is built from pre-cut, very
high quality 1/16th inch mahogany plywood pieces and goes together
very easily and quickly with the boat-building epoxy that is included.
With the clear and detailed instructions and diagrams this is
a building project that anyone can complete successfully and be
proud of for many, many years of sailing. We have had more than
600 of our rc sailboat kits built to date and have six different
rc sailboat designs in addition to 4 free-sailing model sailboat
designs.
Kit price is $215. This includes all of the Radio Control Gear and everything to complete and sail your boat except paint, varnish, and batteries. Sails are already sewn. Sail choice is white main with white jib or white main with royal blue jib. The T27 RC kit is available now! Just call to order (1-800-206-0006) or select T27 RC Sailboat Kit on the order form.
