You could have my old model yacht (a-level dt project), needs a new material deck (and i'll have to get the rig back from a friend), but all you have to do after that is attach the sheet, plug the batteries in, set it afloat and off you go. I've got plans for putting an assymetric kite on it but that would need two more winches and another set of radio gear. Its supposed to look a bit like an open 60 scaled down, its all carbon: hull, spars, foils (carbon on balsa core), cast lead keel. Its about 2kg all up, 70cm waterline, 90 cm mast height, 30cm draft (keel fin removavble if nessasary) and it planes downwind. I'll see if i can find some photos i can put online. I also still have the plug for the hull so you can make more and race them. I've always meant to get round to improving it but never had the time at uni.

Phil, Very kind offer, but I've really set my heart on a multi (budget permitting)
