I love sailing videos (with sailboat propulsion). Too bad there wasn't much wind. I noticed you could also motor (propeller-driven, I mean), right? In strong winds, could you turn without using the propeller?

- SouthportPatCommodoreHi AlessandroHi Alessandro yes it has a motor as well - it is a big heavy model so in light winds like today turning it is a little difficult- will be interesting to see it in stronger winds 😄

Also a couple pictures of it closer to completion.
