Sailing the Bancroft RG65 Quickfire Racing Sailboat - Motion RC

[@shadofaxes]

I am a fan of sailplanes and sailboats (sailplanes since the 80's), I like non powered rc entertainment. I appreciate your sailboat vids so much! I've had sailplanes with electric power pods to take them up to max and just fly till I can't stay awake. It's nice to be at a local pond with no noise, sailing, and doing a cruise by right in front of you in total silence. And chasing ducks!

I’m not a sailor, but seeing you playing with the boat make me wondering why not becoming a rc sailor... Great job James I will put on my Christmas wish list...

Great stuff love it and the zig zag is called tacking 👍🤗🤗 regards from Alan in the UK

[@MotionRC]

Thanks for the info! I have to learn my terminology more. But getting better and better. That graphic really helped me better understand how to catch those grooves

Nice looking vessel. I've never thought about rc sailing but that looks challenging and relaxing. Great job.

[@MotionRC]

It really is! Wish I brought a lounge chair and a cooler. Would be even better with more sailors for a race

Looked Great to me. I love the water. I was raised around the gulf coast for most of my young life.

[@MotionRC]

Very cool! Haven't tried this on the ocean yet, but would love too

A flag on top of the mast can help you see what the wind is doing. A little piece of yarn or something.

Where can we find stores that sell a complete RC65 class boat and its parts?

[@HOLLYWOODlosANGELES]

*J'ai navigué sur un vrai petit catamaran avec un copain expérimenté,* et c'était pas simple. Mais là sur un petit voilier radiocommandé , ça n'a pas l'air évident non plus, mais ça donne envie d'essayer pour *s'entraîner comme pour de vrai !*

[@ceremonialguardsman]

Did you pick that up at Hobby Town in Kennesaw?

[@MotionRC]

No, we sell it at Motion RC

[@ceremonialguardsman]

@@MotionRC nice... do you have a brick and mortar store around acworth, or just online?

[@MotionRC]

@@ceremonialguardsman We are just an online retailer.

The physics of sailing is very fastenating... The beam reach is actually the fastest point of sail. The sails work similar to airplane wings, the air moving over the front side of the sail creates lift and your boat is actually being pulled.
