Unbelievable! The way you design these boats, taking the centers of gravity into account, etc., really shows your knowledge and talent! You can really tell the difference in how these cut through the water compared to other sailboats. And with the interior cabin layout, these are not just rc boats. These are miniaturized sailboat works of art! You are a great inspiration sir 👍
Lovely! She's a beauty! The wonderful thing about models is you get to enjoy the view of them from afar where in full scale it is more difficult to see their full beauty while standing on the deck! :)
Wow, I always wanted to have something like that as a child - I love your work! Now I'm maybe thinking about building such an RC boat. It would be my first. Of course for me, but if my 6-year-old grandson is also enthusiastic about it, then of course for both of us! Thank you very much from Germany and Brazil for presenting your work to us, keep it up!
Great video, beautiful work, and especially genius the idea of the video at half speed... looks like a real Alden or Herreschoff schooner riding the waves!
It is mesmerizing to watch Annie sail. So sleek cutting through the water. I am.going to buy the plans for Emma and Annie when I get done with our house remodel and have time to build them.. They are both amazing boats and beautiful designs. My grandson wants to build Emma after we watched several.of your videos and he is only five. Can't wait to get started with him it is going to be so much fun.
Beautiful Gary! I am just about ready to continue my ‘E Irene’ soon! Job change, caring for ailing, terminal parent and a year off to relax and this spring should be back in the boat shed!⛵️⛵️
very interesting , I wonder how she would perform with internal ballast and a lifting keel in the style of the shoal water schooners that abounded prior to WW2. I only ask as this hull form and rig might scale up as a useful raid boat at 24 feet overall she would still be trailer able. water ballast ???
These boats are SO beautiful! It really inspires me to try making my own one day. I wonder if you have any suggestions on videos or websites that might help me start out? Especially any designs that are quite functional, cheap (as I live with very little money most of the time) and don't require much in the way of power tools... Thanks again for the fantastic videos!
@@sailtails2775 Earlier this week they had predicted the water levels would peak by tomorrow (Saturday), but now we're getting up to another 2" of rain today! Eeek! Ludricrous amounts of water.
Does this schooner come with the remote control & electronics needed to be put into the boat so it can move, or do you have to buy them from a different place? I'm thinking of buying a kit myself, but I need to know If you need to buy a remote and the electronic parts that help make the boat move from a different company.
Thanks Ron for asking about this.. While it could perhaps be done, it is just not as simple as it might appear. I generally do not suggest scaling a design (up or down) more than about 10%. Refer to my video about the matter: th-cam.com/video/XHyvEGNTmyI/w-d-xo.html
@@sailtails2775 thank you I will check the plans, I puchase the hobby king radio,but I could not find the servo for the winch that you show on the link...any other servo that I can use? Thank you I am enjoying it!! Happy sailing!!
I suspect you may have seen a video produced by another builder which showed a sail WINCH installation. The "Emma" Plans show a sail ARM servo (HiTec HS-765HB), used in the original "Emma" for its' simplicity. This servo can be found many places including www.servocity.com/hs-765hb-servo Cheers, Gary
Not aware of an appropriate book, but TH-cam videos are a great source of information. Search for specific topics such as "RC sailboat build" or "Sailmaking for RC models" or "Radio control for model sailboats" or any other detail you seek to learn about, such as "spars" or "rigging" or "hatches" for rc model boats. Hope this is helpful. Cheers !
Hi Gary I’m building your Anne at the moment but having problems sourcing 1/2” 13mm dowels for the 53” needed for the main mast, I live in the South East of England, has anyone managed to source it , Thanks,Really enjoying this build
Hi Roger, I find dowels usually 36" or 48" in length so I scarfed 2 together to make the 53" mainmast for Annie. I've sent you an email with a few photos to show how this can be done easily enough without any fancy equipment.

_Beautiful,_ and I see you have fabricated many components yourself. Strangely, I have never seen wooden turning blocks or wooden cleats on an RC model. Not one. Why? They´re very handsome, and I suppose not so heavy that it would necessarily offend a “racer.“ The boom vang is set at an angle which makes it dramatically less effective, but you did say that elastic “give“ is designed in. Do the plans say that _Annie_ is a schooner? _Annie_ is a ketch because only one mast carries a gaff. I have never piloted a gaff-rigged boat, either full- or model-sized. You say it has a personality all of its own, but what? Promise me that you will construct a miniature model of your (full-size) boat to go itself inside _Annie._ That will be so... recursive. You might say it´s an _inside_ joke.
Thanks Brian, I suppose such wooden blocks & cleats are not seen more often because they must be handmade rather than purchased. The Vang angle is as good as it can be given the realistic proportions of the rig's layout. Annie is a SCHOONER! A 2 masted schooner's Mainmast (located aft) is equal or taller than her Foremast. Even though she has a Marconi Mainsail, ANNIE is still a Schooner. The Mainmast on a Ketch (located forward) is taller than her Mizzen mast. As far as personality, sailing Annie is rather like driving a big old American luxury car on the open highway. Think "Coupe deVille". Miniature model inside Annie? No promise, but I like that idea. Annie's interior is a work in progress, a well hidden inside joke for sure. Cheers!
@@sailtails2775 I think Brian has mistaken Irene for Annie, from his description. There is a brief moment in the video at the beginning where Irene and Bear are shown.

Perfect balance and speed .Wonderful job designing and building .
Top class job !
My first time seeing a rc sailboat!! So awesome you can tack with the remote and swing the sails when adjusting course!
Thanks for continuing to make content. We need more people like you to drive the hobby
Thanks for the comment, and Thanks to the many DIY builders who keep this hobby alive !

That teddy bear was just chillin
Just got my plans, and can not wait to build it! It has been a long time since I built any kind of model. I am excited to get started.
Very nice job on "Annie", a fine looking & sailing lady! ( I love watching your R/C build videos, makes me want to move near the water! )
Great video, beautiful work, and especially genius the idea of the video at half speed... looks like a real Alden or Herreschoff schooner riding the waves!
I built Emma and just started building Irene now I will have to order plans for Annie.

Can't say much about this video EXCEPT WHAT A BEAUTIFUL YACHT 👍 what a credit to this hobby .
Gorgeous!
Absolutely beautiful !
What a beauty! A really nice addition to the Bearospace fleet! Hurrah "Annie"]!
Thanks Paul, always good to hear from you ! Hoping to see more of your Schooner Deborah sailing this coming summer !

Mám ANNIE jedí skvěle..

I'm thinking of buying a kit myself, but I need to know If you need to buy a remote and the electronic parts that help make the boat move from a different company.
Thanks for asking, we sell only DIY plans for this schooner. You must obtain all materials and scratch build the boat yourself.
I am in the process of building Emma, its a blast, more fun than 15 wildcats in your living room, ya hoo.
Que maravilla, que bien navega!!!
What do you think of scaling Annie down to about 75%? Seems it ought to sail as well, and be easier to handle in the car.
Thanks Ron for asking about this.. While it could perhaps be done, it is just not as simple as it might appear.
I generally do not suggest scaling a design (up or down) more than about 10%. Refer to my video about the matter:
th-cam.com/video/XHyvEGNTmyI/w-d-xo.html
Why do you make the fin keel so deep? Is it more for grip to windward than getting the ballast lower?
The fin is deep (18" draft) primarily to get the ballast lower, thus lowering the overall CG of the boat.
What do you seal your wood with?
After assembly, I seal the wood with "clear penetrating epoxy sealer". Several epoxy companies sell this type of product .
Very nice.
I ordered the emma plans,but I am not clear about the servo winch sistem for the sail,can you explain it please.
The Emma design uses a Sail Arm Servo. The single arm pulls both the Jib and Mainsail sheets.
@@sailtails2775 thank you I will check the plans, I puchase the hobby king radio,but I could not find the servo for the winch that you show on the link...any other servo that I can use? Thank you I am enjoying it!! Happy sailing!!
