    A 1/5 semi scale model of my 15ft day sailer,- designed by US naval architect Edson I Schock in 1953. The original was built in NZ in the late 80s and I bought and restored it in 2008. Thought it would be nice to have an RC model of it, so measured the boat and made the model 1/5 scale.

    Model is made from polystyrene foam, shaped and f/glassed with a ply deck and ply lined cockpit and ply transom. Uses a HiTec winch with a floor mounted sheet hauler pulley system.
    The skipper is servo powered and ducks under the boom when tacking

    You are a master of scale dinghies JB, beautiful - does the helmsman also change sides on tacking????!!!!

    Your day sailor, except for its length is a copy of the Heron dinghy in the UK, designed by Jack Holt in about the 1950's. I still have my orignal gaff-rigged Heron built in about 1958, but sadly just stored in my garage.
