Traditional free-sailing pond yachts as before RC sailboats

Here are the first films we have ever had on our web site of our Free-sailing boats out on a lake. All of these video clips are unchanged from the original footage, none of the videos have been speeded up - the boats are just fast! And that is part of why our boats are so much fun to sail, because they perform beautifully. It is very disappointing to try to sail a model sailboat that doesn't sail well and for a youngster it can be thoroughly disillusioning. A real model sailboat, like ours, can sail incredibly! A lot of people ask how the boats can go straight. The key is that we balance each model perfectly - it helps that I have been sailing and building boats all of my life. Any of our boats, starting with the T12, will sail right across a lake. I hope you enjoy watching the films. I had a great time making the videos. It was a joy to be out on the lake on a beautiful day sailing such beautiful boats!

Happy Sailing, Will

Beethoven's T12 The T12 is always fun to sail. Here it is shown with its new sloop rig. On some pages of our web site you will see the T12 with the old cat rig single sail, but all of the T12's we are building now have the two sails, a mainsail and a jib. For a 12 inch boat the T12 sails beautifully. Enjoy!

Bach's T15 Sail on a line, or from a canoe. Take the T15 with you cruising or camping. The 15 inch T15 is always fun and brilliantly fast. The T15 will sail on a straight course right across any lake or a pond.

Philip Boulding's T- Class Racing Sloop (the T18)

Sail off into a beautiful world of relaxing wind and water. Recharge your energy with visual images of sparkling waves and gracefully heeling small yachts racing across a lake. As the Water Rat so wisely said so many years ago: There is nothing half so much worth doing as messing about with boats. (Music by Philip Boulding.
