my summer project!
 

ok so i've had this thing sitting around for a few years. due to its design it never has really worked too well. and yes it is a r/c sailboat. i've been meaning to get to work on this and it also gives me chance to show off my fiber glassing skills, and how i suck at designing and constructing parts.

so, as it sits now...

so here it is... lol try and guess wat kinda boat it is and who its made by, its a popular brand and not too hard to find.

any updates

ok little work done, went alittle overboard with the bottom, but got the false bottom cut out.

ok got all the old electronics out, also this was one of the major design flaws. they created a small compartment for the electronics (i call the "false bottom") the buyer loved the neatness of it, but it created a place where once water got in it had nowhere to go out. therefore all the electronics got to soak in the water for as long as you were useing it.

due to the false bottom, this servo "bit the dust"

i really like this shade of blue, looks really good with the white deck and black spares
