Designer: David BeavenStar Rating: ***An unusual model, electric powered, carrying retrieval jaws sprung by light elastic, triggered by the stem of the casualty. Jaw spread 25in Almost any hull up to about 27 x 9in can be used and up to Marblehead size yachts can be retrieved (except in high winds). Fully detailed mechanism and lines for a suitable hull are included on the drawing.
Designer: Dave WooleyStar Rating: **A fast electric for steering or multi racing. Carefully designed hull produces the essential characteristics required for each of these classes - e.g. very fast for speed events, yet stable for multi-racing and still responsive for steering events and all achieved with handling characteristics for the beginner. Hull measures 24 x 8.25in and is built from plywood and balsa. Can be put together in three or four evenings.
