Thank you! It was filmed during winter here in Sweden. About as much light there was that day. I still have the boat. Sitting in the back room. Thanks, Lars
Sorry for late reply. Do you mean a finished keel in lead? I don't usually take on projects, since I have enough of my own. Don't you think you can make it yourself?
She’s moving awfully slow for how much sail she has and how much wind there is, I wonder why that is. High skin area? Maybe insufficient righting moment?
I mostly only use 2 channels. I'm thinking of adding more functionality to my next build, but usually sheet in and out and steering the rudder is plenty good. Gives an easy to sail experience.
gorgeous
Thank you! I built this boat 7 years ago. I´m still happy with it, but has improved the quality over the years. thanks, Lars
Congratulations on a gorgeous sail and Boat....

What a thing of absolute beauty……. One day!!!…..
Thank you! I'm currently building sheet systems for four 12mR's in scale 1:10, and hope to have 3 or 4 ready to sail later this spring.
Doesn’t get much better…..thank you
Thank you! I'm building Australia II right now. More to come.
Lucky to have open water this time year. Here in Montreal, it is frozen Nice work Bud
Thanks Harvey, I know. usually you can ice skate where we sailed yesterday. Looks like the "warm" weather is here for the next 10 days too.
Harvey Ducourneau not everywhere, the fleuve isn’t
Looks great.beautiful job. Are there any plans available?
If you search with Google, you can find the plans for Courageous US26
It’s a boat of Beauty
Thanks! I'm working hard on it. New video this weekend. :) //Lars
I also sail model boats, you can tell when one is well made just by looking at it. Yours was done very nice, you should be proud of your workmanship.
@@donb4138 Thanks Don!
It is my hope.
The yacht for cat =) Or mouse's crew
Lars how much do need to make a wing keel for a 20 inch boat?
Sorry for late reply. Do you mean a finished keel in lead? I don't usually take on projects, since I have enough of my own. Don't you think you can make it yourself?
Is your Boat model after a J Class SAILBOATS....
Hi, this is a model of US26 Courageous, a 12 metre that won the America's Cup 1974 and 77.
She’s moving awfully slow for how much sail she has and how much wind there is, I wonder why that is. High skin area? Maybe insufficient righting moment?
It's a 12 metre boat. It was a bit too windy at times for all the canvas I had hoisted.
Too close hauled.
Lars do you still have the mold drawing?
I still have the mold.. Lars
Just curious...how many channels do you need for this? 3? For jib, mainsail, and rudder?
I mostly only use 2 channels. I'm thinking of adding more functionality to my next build, but usually sheet in and out and steering the rudder is plenty good. Gives an easy to sail experience.
I tought it is real yacht))
It is a real yacht. Not large enough to carry people, but very real.
Thanks! Sorry for late reply! //Lars
