description  Finally Philippe and I found some time for our first regatta on a nice quiet pond in Aarschot (Belgium)! Well actually, we didn't 'regatta' much as both of us are still getting accustomed to our respective boats. To whom concerned, I don't think neither of us ever went faster than - let's say - four knots. But fun? It sure is! Now I have to finish my new homemade sails to out sail that fine Robbe Estelle of his FOR EVER!

Very stable yacht, thanks to its rather wide beam

Thx for all the fine comments, guys! Fernado, your boat must be awesome. If there is one thing Philippe and I agree on, is that a larger boat would be even more fun. So post some pics, my friend!

Very nice guy's I like to see tc members getting along together with there RC's. I must have a sailing ship to some were. But I think it is rather big . This thing must be in my brothers garage. It is at least 1.30 meter long and over 2 meters high. It must be standing there for 20 years now. I hope the sail have survived When I the time to search for it ,I will post some pictures. Thanks for the nice pictures . Cheers Alex Brings up some nice memories

My goodness,to be honest my Estelle looks better than your Yamaha (even if it's a Tamiya) but your second pic looks better than all my pics together How much for this one.P.S. I really enjoyed this afternoon and hope there will be loads of other with maybe more boats...

Credit to Philippe's yacht, CortoMaltese. But beware, even though it looks like the boat is drifting... its speed was walking pace!
