RC Sail Boats

Welcome to World of RC Sail Boats.

The hobby of RC sailing is a serene and relaxing sport. It is the perfect way to spend an afternoon at the lake or local pond. Operating an RC sail boat is very enjoyable plus you will learn about the principals of real sailing.

If you are just staring out in the hobby, RTR (ready to run) rc sail boats are a very good place to start. The RTR RC sail boats are fully assembled and ready to sail.  A RTR RC sail boat will give you enjoyment for years. RTR RC sail boats can be used for easy cruises around the pond to all out RC sail boat racing.

Advanced RC sailboats may require some assembly before use.

Once you get your RC sail boat, here are a few RC sailing tips that you want to keep in mind!

Always check to see if there are any other RC's watercrafts operating in the same area. If there are, you'll need to check with any other RC operators to avoid frequency conflicts.

With your rc sail boat on boat stand, power on you radio transmitter and check all the linkages, rigging , check the operation of the servos, and don't forget to check the operation of you rudder. Check you sail winch making certain that the sails are fully hauled in when the transmitter stick is down. Always double check the rigging and you controls.

You are now ready to place your RC sail boat in the water. Make certain that you select a location where the water is deep enough to accommodate the full length of the keel and ballast.

So your RC sail boat is now in the water.

How long is the play time?

Run time will vary according to the type and age of the battery pack, the size of the vehicle, the performance level of the vehicle, and the playing conditions. The larger the vehicle, the shorter the run time. Average run times are as follows:

4.8v vehicles: 30 to 45 minutes
6.0v vehicles: 20 to 25 minutes
9.6v vehicles: 15 to 20 minutes
7.2v vehicles: 10 to 15 minutes

Happy RC Sailing ….

Faithfully Detailed 18th Century Merchant Vessel RC Pirate Ship 

18th Century Merchant Vessel RC Pirate Ship RC Pirate Ship

this remote-controlled pirate ship has sails that hoist, a retractable plank, and 12 cannons. At the bow of the ship, a jib sail is attached to the bowsprit. A mizzenmast sail is fixed to the boom on the ship's stern, and the main mast has a crow's nest at the top with the traditional Calico Jack Rackam's Jolly Roger flag. All three masts have ratlines that are hand-tied and the sails have polycarbonate inserts that create a "wind blown" look when the ship is mounted on the display stand. The fiberglass hull ensures a watertight seal for the motor and the two-channel remote controls the ship from up to 500' away. Remote requires eight AA batteries. Includes charger that plugs into AC and a rechargeable battery that lasts up to six hours on a full charge. Minimal assembly. 40 1/2" L x 10 1/2" W x 42" H. (10 1/3 lbs.)

RC Laser Rechargeable Batteries 


RC Laser Rechargeable Batteries



Your boat will sail well with standard drugstore alkaline batteries, AA size. You should get 4-5 hours from one set of 12 batteries. However, if you want to forget about batteries, a rechargeable set of Nickel Metal Hydride batteries will last you many years of hard sailing. This system comes with 8 loose AA NiMH batteries for the transmitter, and a 5-pack (6 volt) of batteries for the boat. In addition, you get a wall trickle charger with two dedicated leads that allows you to charge the batteries in the transmitter and the 5-pack in the boat at the very same time, and you don't even need to take the batteries out to charge them! And the greatest feature of this overnight charger is that it can be left on indefinitely without doing damage to your batteries (never leave connected for more than a month). So plug in when you bring your boat home and leave it until the next time you sail.
