Real sailing with remote-controlled historical model ships - a fascinating idea, and not so difficult to realize.

For the self-construction of a navigable model are

some theoretical basics are important to avoid the proverbial shipwreck. This book deals in an easily understandable way with the special questions that arise when building prototypical remote-controlled sailing ships.

This ranges from sailing theory to suitable models,

principles of construction and general building instructions, and

to precise information on how to control the sails.

Setting the square or square sails, recovering them, and starting them - all the functions needed for proper sailing can be realized. There are also tips on any auxiliary drives that may be required,

on making ropes, enlarging the rudder area,

functional centerboards and much more.

Almost 130 photos and drawings show solutions that have been tried and tested in practice,

so that every model builder can build a
