Actually it's a 56202, the kit without the rc unit, but that one wasn't in the list of models.
A couple of years ago I decided I wanted a yacht: the options were a Kyosho Seawind or this Yamaha. The choice was made upon the cost & quality: a Seawind is cheaper and basically Kyosho makes better models than Tamiya.. This is kind of swearing on Tamiyaclub but Kyosho is more creative in what they make, is mostly far ahead of Tamiya and uses better materials, at least to my humble opinion. This kit is a good example: when I compare both models the Seawind is a more practical built and is a yacht to sail and the Yamaha is a model for display, to look at all the details and how close it is to the real thing. But I like it very much for that reason and it's great to own a weird spin off from Tamiya. That beautiful glider with the O2H will be mine one day..

It was offered by very kind boat builder on a local auction site and got it for a fair price.

The crew set will be a patience project: it will float by one day on the bay.
