About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.

As the winter deepens along with the depression that comes from having a sailboat sitting in a slip being unused (at least until I get better cold-weather gear...), I was wandering through one of my favorite places to browse: A hobby shop. I saw something I'd never considered before, a radio-controlled sailboat. I almost bought it then and there, but the better (or at least more fiscally responsible) half dragged me out. Does anyone here have experience with them? I found a club that sails them locally and I'm planning on heading to one of their meetups, but I'm curious as to how fun this could be when I've got the real thing sitting in a slip.. Plus, the little boats are fairly expensive. On the other hand, the nerdy side of me really loves the idea of getting to play with that while not being trapped on a freezing cold boat in the middle of a harbor.  

No experience but the same thinking. I have watched the Thursday morning regattas on a large pond when visiting my stepson. I almost bought one but I have so little free time and would rather spend it on the big boat. Here at home in Ohio it would have to be an ice boat. It was 4 degrees this morning. I was intrigued watching the captains prepare their rigs. Before launch they adjust cunninghams, outhauls, and relationship of jib to main. The RC boats that I watched do not have separate controls, the main to jib slot is constant.  

Very interesting! Thankfully down here even in the winter it's not so cold as to freeze water over, but I'm just not very prepared for a day out in the open with wind and spray and whatnot.. From what I've seen, there are some RC sailboats that use servos to adjust rigging during a race, and there are some where your control is basically limited to the rudder.  

I've been building and racing them for years, how can I help?? Tom s/v GAIA  

Lots of fun! I have two. Our club has many. We have regattas and many yacht clubs have RC regattas in addition to their big boat ones. A good start is the Megatech Nirvana which you can find on e-bay for under $200 with radio gear. A popular class is the Soling. Those are made from kits. There is a governing association. See the link. I am presently building a Footy which is a 12" box rule boat to keep on my boat since it's small but a decent sail. http://www.theamya.org/  

Yeah, the Megatech Nirvana really is a good boat. It's fast, and looks real good in the water. There are 3 of us in the harbor racing them and we have a blast. The one problem is that there are (the last Ichecked) only 3 radio freq's for those, take a look at the TOWER HOBBIES web site there are some other good boats there. The Victoria is another good boat, easy to build, fast, looks good, and a good boat to sail. Be careful about getting anything smaller though, they don't sail as well (IMHO). Tom s/v gaia  

A neat little high performance boat that is taking off in this country now, already big in europe is the micro magic. It is a small one design that is pretty cheap for a racing boat. RC sailing is like big boat sailing, you can spend as little or spend a lot.  

Not having any experience with these myself, I have three questions which may sound a little "dumb". 1. What do you do if your boat is out in the middle of a pond and the batteries die? 2. What's the radio range? Can the boat get away from you? 3. What do you do if the wind just dies and the boat is in the middle of the pond? (or conversely, what about a sudden major blow?)  

The boats normally have a two channel radio, a servo for the rudder and a servo/ sail winch for the sails. Mine uses 4 aa batteries in the boat and I have sailed for hours with no sign of them going dead. I do normally replace those before each sail as I don't use the boat that much. If the boat requires you to install the radio(not supplied in kit) , a good radio will have a range of about a mile. Some of the boats that have the radios installed don't have that range and may be limited on number of frequencies. If the wind dies you just sit there like in the real thing.  

I have two MegaTech Nirvana II's, and they are a load of fun. We have a Regatta most every Saturday we are at the lake, and drink the beverage of the season, beer, hot cider, etc. It is great social interaction, almost as great as hanging with BoatBabe..

That definitely looks like a lot of fun. I just found out that the local club does their regattas on Sundays and practices on Wednesdays. And thankfully, I've got this Wednesday off (much-needed vacation). So I'll go take a look at what they've got and will let you guys know how it turns out!  

cephius (Dave)

I build a model of the Emma C Berry. It looked so good that I ballasted the hull, added servos, and took it sailing. The schooner rig required three servos for the sails. The San Diego Model Yacht Pond had stated days for speed boats and sail/scale boats. There were always model tug boats or war ships (even a submarine) that were more then happy to fetch a becalmed boat. Unfortunately, around here the model boats have the same sailing season as the 1 to 1 scale boats. Only the ice boats go sailing this time of year. :cussing:  

I started with rc boats a Nirvana pro so i could put better than the stock servos. My friend near me built a 100'x150' pond with marks, starting line, he even taped the 2 minute starts, we have spent many a afternoon racing. I am either racing my 32" or sailing my 30'.

Oh great. Raise a topic as cool as this AFTER Christmas. I was a really good boy this year, too...:cry: (Actually, I have a secret addiction to HO trains, I've been collecting them for 40 years and this winter I might actually get around to laying track...)  

I tried it once, sailing my friend RC sail boat on a lake and it was a blast. I even had some wing on wing going. I tried to add it as a hobby put I couldn't convince the wife, since I already fly RC planes as a hobby. I'll say go ahead Squadron, take the plunge,

Radio-Controlled Sailboat Kits: The Ultimate Guide

• By - Kyle Hilson
• Posted on November 14, 2023 November 15, 2023
• Posted in RC Boats

Radio-controlled sailboat kits are a popular hobby for both beginners and experienced enthusiasts. These kits allow hobbyists to build their sailboats from scratch and control them remotely using a radio transmitter. The idea of radio-controlled sailboats dates back to the 1930s and has since become a popular hobby worldwide. Radio-controlled sailboat kits come in different shapes and sizes. They contain all the components necessary to build a functional sailboat, including the hull, sails, rigging, motor, and radio transmitter. RC sailboats are available in different types, including racing sailboats, yachts, and schooners. When choosing a kit, hobbyists need to consider the price, difficulty level, design, and additional features such as GPS capabilities. Building and owning a radio-controlled sailboat has many benefits. Firstly, it is an excellent way to learn new skills and gain knowledge about sailing. Secondly, it allows hobbyists to spend time outdoors and experience the joy of sailing. Lastly, it is a social hobby, and sailing with others is an excellent way to meet new people and make new friends. Building and sailing radio-controlled sailboats can present some challenges, especially for beginners. Some of the common challenges include understanding the complex instructions, setting up the radio transmitter, and navigating the boat. However, with practice and patience, these challenges can be overcome. Beginner-friendly kits are available, and YouTube tutorials can help with the setup and sailing of the boat.

Choosing the perfect RC sailboat kit for your needs.

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? RC boats come in lots of shapes, sizes, and styles, but the best models can shred water from afar without becoming sinking ships. We’ve rounded up the best remote-control boats for beach visits, lakefront races, poolside entertainment, and some advice on picking the best RC boat for you. Stay in play and check out our picks for the best magnetic toys , remote-control trucks , and remote-control planes . The Best RC Boats Best Overall: ALPHAREV RC Boat with Case R308 Best for Beginners: DEERC RC Boat with LED Light Most Well-Rounded: Altair Aerial AA102 RC Boat Best Value: Force1 Velocity H102 Best Sailboat: PLAYSTEAM Voyager 400 RC Sailboat What to Consider While you can likely get away with using a larger RC boat on a pond or lake, you may want to stick to a smaller model if you’ll be floating yours in a backyard swimming pool or need to pack something tiny. RC boats can be up to two feet long, so make sure to consider the journey to the water, too, especially if the boat you’re eyeing doesn’t come with a carrying case. Weight and Speed The RC boat’s weight helps determine how fast it can move. Heavier boats are better equipped to move at high speeds without capsizing, whereas lighter boats can be speedy using less power, a.k.a., slower acceleration. Think of it like torque on a car (or a full-sized boat, for that matter)—the more power the boat gets from the battery, electric, or gas motor, the faster it can accelerate. Speed is also dependent on the type of hull—some boats are shaped for optimal turning and curves, while others are built for picking up speed while driving in a straight line. The priciest models can reach speeds of up to 50 miles per hour. We mostly recommend recreational, battery-powered RC boats that reach speeds up to 30 miles per hour, since the more powerful, expensive models are meant for hardcore hobbyists and professional racers. Capsize Recovery Many RC boats have anti-capsize, or capsize recovery, functionality to prevent them from flipping over (and staying overturned). Flipping an RC boat is extremely easy, especially if you lack experience, and can lead to a sinking ship. If you’re new to RC boating, consider grabbing one with capsize recovery, making your boat rebalance and flip back over if it tips. How We Selected We researched each model’s speed, customer rating, durability, and unique features. We also consulted buying guides from several top hobbyist publications. We’ve picked options for every type of RC boat customer, whether you’re a casual hobbyist, buying a first boat for your kids, or you’re a dedicated RC enthusiast. ALPHAREV RC Boat with Case R308 This boat features capsize recovery, so if it tips over or gets hit by a wave, it’ll flip back over to recover. It also has LED lights installed to make it easy to see when it’s dark. Thanks to the autopilot mode that loops the boat into a figure-eight shape, children can easily use it, too. The R308 comes with two batteries and a charger, with users reporting approximately 20 minutes of power (counting both batteries) when operating the boat at full speed. It has a 400-foot signal range for distance driving and tops at 20 miles per hour. With its carry case, the R308 is a solid RC boat for most users. Dimensions 15.86 x 9.13 x 5.31 in. Weight 8 oz. Speed 20+ mph DEERC RC Boat with LED Light This is an excellent option for anyone eager to get into RC boating but unsure of their prowess on the water. It features two autopilot modes, so there’s plenty of opportunity to learn how to use it. It also has an extended playtime of 30 minutes, giving you plenty of time to practice. With features like capsize recovery, double hatch design, and low-battery and signal alarms, this boat is pretty much goof proof, making it the perfect boat for beginners on their way to becoming enthusiasts. Dimensions 15.98 x 7.44 x 6.77 in. Weight 2.03 lbs. Speed 20+ mph Altair Aerial AA102 RC Boat If you need a well-rounded RC boat, this one has ample protection, zippy speeds, and excellent customer service, all in one attractive package. Its anti-capsize feature prevents it from tipping over, while several users say its nose bumper saved their boats from getting totaled through crashing. It has an extra battery for more playtime, and several users say it provides up to 20 minutes of action after swapping it. Users who experienced issues with their boats were able to find replacement parts and products thanks to the company’s customer service help. Others say that it’s a terrific value, though the lack of a carry case is disappointing. Dimensions 17.32 x 10.12 x 5.98 in. Weight 1.38 lbs. Speed 18 mph Force1 Velocity H102 This boat reaches speeds of 20-plus miles per hour, making it great for anyone who wants their toy to fly on the water. This boat features a capsize recovery mode, a water-cooled engine, and a double-hatched body, making it easier to control on waves. The charge time is a little long, three to four hours, but it can ride for up to 15 minutes at full power. Customers say this boat reaches top speed fairly quickly, though some report that the controller is difficult to use and not very responsive. Still, it handles well on the water and is a super speedy boat. Dimensions 10.85 x 2.75 x 2 in. Weight 5.9 oz. Speed 20+ mph PLAYSTEAM Voyager 400 RC Sailboat If sailing is your preference, the Voyager 400 is the way to go. Rather than rely on an electric motor to push it forward, the Voyager 400 can sail in any body of water via wind power. Its remote controls the rudder and the propulsion, and just in case wind isn’t in the forecast, it comes with a detachable motor to help propel it. Customers say it’s easy to use, and everything is sealed to keep interior components dry when it tips over. Its rechargeable remote battery can work for up to one hour, which puts most RC speedboats to shame. A drawback, however, is that if it gets stuck at sea without the motor attached, you’ll have to wait for it to wash ashore. Dimensions 27.25 x 17 x 5.25 in. Weight 1.34 lbs. Speed N/A Cheerwing RC Racing Boat Cheerwing RC boats are fantastic if you’re looking for an affordable toy to race with your friends. This boat can hit up to 15 miles per hour and has some great features, including capsize recovery and automatic yaw correction, which rebalances your boat. It also signals when the battery is low or starts to lose signal, giving you peace of mind. If you want to try RC boating without spending much, this is a solid buy. Its biggest downside is in its battery life—just six to eight minutes per charge—and it doesn’t come with the option to buy a second battery, so it requires frequent recharging. Dimensions 13.5 x 3.5 x 3.5 in. Weight 11.4 oz. Speed 15 mph VOLANTEXRC Brushless RC Boat If you need speed and don’t mind investing more money into your hobby, this boat is fantastic. The fastest model on this list, this boat has a top speed of 40 miles per hour, a range of up to 656 feet, and a water-cooled system that prevents the motor from overheating. It also has safety features to prevent damage from the high speeds, like waterproofing and a one-piece hull to prevent cracks. The biggest flaw is its lack of capsize recovery, and several users say their boats flipped in action, causing them to swim out to retrieve their toys. It also only comes with one battery. Dimensions 27.56 x 7.48 x 5.31 in. Weight 5.39 lbs. Speed 40 mph Kevin Cortez is an editor for Runner's World, Bicycling, and Popular Mechanics covering reviews.
