RC sailing ships: the dream of your own model sailing ship

Do you dream of hoisting the sails and feeling the wind without leaving the shore? RC sailing ships make it possible! These miniaturised model boats offer real sailing fun and are equipped with a remote control. Driven only by the power of the wind, they allow for long sailing times and impressive speeds when there is enough wind.

Model versions of RC sailing ships
There are different model versions that are aimed at different needs and levels of experience:
Kit models: These consist of individual parts that have to be fully assembled. A kit includes all the materials needed to build the model, such as the hull and sails. It does not include paints, adhesives and remote control accessories such as sail winches and remote control. These models are ideal for model builders who enjoy building models.
ARR models (Almost Ready to Run): These models are partially pre-assembled, but do not include remote control components. Batteries and servos usually also have to be purchased separately. ARR models are suitable for model sailors who want to use an existing control system.
RTR models (Ready to Run): Completely assembled RC sailing boats that are almost ready to use and come with all the necessary accessories. Only minor assembly work remains to be done, such as mounting the mast or keel. A remote control consisting of a transmitter and receiver as well as servos are included.
Materials for the hull of RC sailing ships
The choice of hull material not only influences the appearance, but also the handling characteristics and durability of the model:
- Plastic hulls made of ABS: Many RC sailing boats come with a plastic hull made of ABS. This plastic is highly weather-resistant, easily moulded and very strong. Ideal for beginners and hobby sailors looking for a robust model.
- GRP hulls (glass-fibre reinforced plastic): If you are thinking about a regatta and competing with other model sailors, you should choose a GRP hull. Glass-fibre reinforced plastics are extremely stable and can often survive major jostling and minor accidents on the water unscathed.
Wooden kits: Model builders who enjoy the construction process can choose a construction kit. With construction kits, you can choose between ready-made hulls or a wooden construction. Wood offers a classic look and allows for individual adjustments.
Racing with your own sailing ship
Remote-controlled sailing yachts and sailing ships make it possible to take part in regattas with your own model – an easy dream to fulfil. Boats with very good handling characteristics and made of selected materials provide an authentic sailing experience. However, taking part in regattas requires a certain amount of experience and a high-quality model, preferably with a GRP hull.
RC sailing ships for children and young people
RC sailing boats are not suitable as children's toys.
 However, older children and teenagers can gain their first experiences with the support of adults. Manufacturers recommend kits and models only for children aged 14 and up. It is important to introduce young sailors to the technology and to support them in handling the models.
Accessories and extensions for model sailing ships
In addition to the actual model, there are a variety of accessories and extensions:
Remote controls: Depending on the model, the transmitter and receiver may already be included or may have to be purchased separately. Pay attention to the range and number of channels.
Sail winches and servos: Servos are essential for controlling the sails and rudder. High-quality sail winches enable more precise control.
Batteries and chargers: You need suitable batteries for electrical components. Lithium polymer batteries offer high performance at a low weight.
RC sailing boats offer a fascinating hobby that combines technology, craftsmanship and nature. Whether you are looking for a ready-made model or want to enjoy the building process, the world of RC sailing ships has something for everyone.
