Looks interesting, any idea what class of boat is that?

Anymore details on the sailboat?

[jtansoon]

Not too sure, the above spec was all they gave. Name is F54 Victor ? 1 m lenght...is this what you mean.

Did you have a chance to see the yacht? In their spec. did they mentioned the beam width, waterline etc?

If the boat meets the IOM specs, it can be very interesting. Maybe you can post a link to the supplier here.

Cheers

Hi Bun,

It looks about rite. If the hull is good, riggings can be upgraded. U know where I can get hold of one?

Is there a sailing club in BKK?

Cheers

I let my friend who do busniess in china send it me, now the boat is done about 50%. last week i chang servo tray and this week i plan to make the new mast and shroud because is too weak.

Can u post more pics of your yacht? Maybe it is good for chasing the IOMs in our local water.

[jtansoon]

anybody ordering this - count 1 for me..

[bun]

for me i don't think so for IOMs. i have plan after finish i will try to chasing robbe windstar. the sail i will chang to IOM size with my new mast. in the picture u can see the water line is shallow i guess is will good for tracking.

rules of NAVIGA (World Organisation for Modelshipbuilding and Modelshipsport)

The NAVIGA sailboat classes are:

F5 E one meter boats
F5 M "Marblhead"
F5 10 "10 Rater"
The NAVIGA class rules ( F5 E F5 M F5 10) are similar to the ISAF-RSD class rules. The most important differences are between the IOM and F5E one meter boats. NAVIGA permits masts and booms made of any material and the weight of the boat is free. This means that an IOM boat can participate at a NAVIGA event.

u can see the meterial of the sail impossible to made the boat run.
