A freelance lug rigged cabin cruiser just 12" long!
designed by Graham McAllister

'Pintail' is for 2 channel radio control, you control the rudder and the sail position just like the full size craft. One standard and one micro sized servos (not included in kit) are used.

Construction is based on an accurate ScaleSailing foam core which you cover with thin plywood panels to form the hull. Most parts are laser cut for accuracy and ease of use. The cabin is built from 1/32" laser cut ply panels and the deck is laser etched with planking detail.

Finished with clear varnish the plywood glows! The hull can be clear varnished too or spray painted as you see here. Masts are wooden dowel. Rigging on the 'Pintail' is very simple, unclip one line and pull the mast out for transport, but Footy yachts easily fit on a car seat fully rigged...

Add a dapper 1/24th scale figure (not included) cut off at the waist to complete the picture!

The 'Pintail' Full Kit includes; ScaleSailing Foam Core, high grade 1/32" plywood hull bottom, sides, transom and laser etched deck. Cut cabin parts, servo tray, rudder and fin material, dowels for masts and booms, mast tube, rigging hardware, sails are cut and taped ready to use. Custom lead cast fin bulb weight, instructions and drawings, comprehensive photo CD!
