Hi Boomer, thanks very much for your time, it is much appreciated. You may recall I am restoring a 36R yacht and scratch building on stand off scale one too - I wanted something to learn sailing on and probably was a bit silly buying these two University Clubs, but well I can only learn from my mistakes!! It will be good practice anyway (I hope) - and I will learn to consider future 'good deals' carefully. Wayne

Agree with the folks this is tender hull, for light wind sailing. Very nice looker. I cut the keel in half, drilled the hull and bulb, installed a 4mm carbon rod each end and filled the 1 1/4 inch gap with bondo. Sails better BUT has lost that shallow draught, sails in a wisper charm. Relaxing light air boat !

I bought one few weeks ago for my son, and sadly, i fully agree with the first review - even under weakest wind the ship tilts in water, becames unsteerable. Not usable without ballasting, but the stake is closed and glued.

Pour le prix, il faut pas se plaindre. J'en ai pris deux, donc a me revient la pices, frais de ports inclus, moins de 20euros! Qui dit mieux??? Sur un, un servo posait soucis, je l'ai remplac par un futaba que j'avais en stock.

sieht schick aus das teil. aber entweder sind die segel zu gro oder mast und baeume zu kurz. das bedarf der korrektur, da die segel deshalb viel zu bauchig sind. der kiel erscheint mir ziehmlich kurz und die bombe sehr klein. aber fr 20 euronen nen super teil. sailing out of the box. akkus rein und los(wenn ddas eis weg ist)

Chameo | Verifizierter Käufer

It's ok for this special price of twenty bucks but not for more. I've ordered two of these boats. One was ok (not regarding the general insufficencies) but on the other boat the mast was too short so that the booms can't move freely and streak the deck and the sails unhinge easily. Additionally the keel wasn't glued properly. Most of the general insufficencies are concerning mast, booms and sails. While the booms are generally ok, they are too short for the sails (or the sails are too wide for the booms), so the sails hang around loosely. Rigging seems to be ok altough the used cord doesn't look very durable. Unfortunately it's impossible to get a tight rigging because the mast is so flexible that it simply bends when tightening the cords. And then there is the manual. Well, this boat is made for beginners so it would be good if the manual would be able to give some explanation about the rc, this specific boat and how to sail in general. Unfortunately the pictures and explanations are not for this boat (altough it's name appears in the headline) but for the "Legend" sailboat, which has nothing in common with this one. I've bought from the german warehouse so the manual is in german too... well, in a language which is supposed to be german but isn't. It looks like a bad automatic translation and is completely inscrutable. Conclusion: this isn't a boat for beginners, they would

Eolles Teil. Fr den Preis absolut zu empfehlen.

Jan 02, 2011

I ordered this University Club and liked it so much I bought a second one as a gift. Both of these sailboats arrived within a week of my order. A very calm breeze is perfect to get this sailboat across the pond faster than expected. This is a perfect beginners model for me to learn nautical terms and concepts. I made a few mods to make controlling the sailboat easier. First I took the springs out of the transmitter's sticks so I dont have to keep my thumbs on sticks. Second I took out the cast iron weight in bottom of Keel and filled with lead. This has helped with the sailboat to take on a little more wind. Third I filled the hull with styrofoam, so if the worst happens, I can retrieve my boat without swimming to bottom of a pond. Last I changed the mounting points for the servo rope on the boom to get better control. Future mods will include a longer rudder and moving battery pack to bottom of hull for better center of gravity. The downside for this boat with a novice captain is this sailboat does NOT like a strong breeze. Overall I am very satisfied with this inexpensive model as a beginner's first step into sailing.

Dec 13, 2010

Just ordered this from the USA whse.It came to less than $35.00 shipped to Atlanta. I'm normally a plane guy, but at this price, why not. I figure I can play w/this while my seaplane lipos recharge. It will also look good on a shelf in the man cave.

Oct 18, 2010

I bought this on a whim. It says nothing in the instructions about needing to add balast to it (i don't know if that was the problem), but on the first sail it would almost blow over in the slightest breeze, i tightened all the rigging just right, sent it out for a second sail, and it just blew over and sank, this was in a slight breeze. I can only think it needed ballast added (but does not say that in the instructions, even in Engrish...)

American archaeologist drowns after replica Viking boat sinks

A woman's body was eventually found on Wednesday morning close to where the boat sank.

Six people were on board the Naddoddur when it got into trouble on Tuesday evening - the fourth day of the voyage - and a distress signal was sent.

Only five people managed to get into an inflatable life raft. They were later airlifted to safety by helicopter.

The Naddoddur set off from the Faroe Islands on Saturday on a trip of about 400 nautical miles

An American archaeologist has died after the replica boat she was sailing in capsized in rough seas during an expedition from the Faroe Islands to Norway.

The US State Department confirmed the death of an American citizen "off the coast of Norway" but declined to comment further "out of respect for the privacy of the family".

"We extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased," the agency told BBC News.

Norwegian media identified the deceased woman as 29-year-old Karla Dana.

A blog maintained by the group contains several entries written by Ms Dana. In one post that appears to have been written before their departure, she describes trepidation over the expedition as she watched online videos of the North Sea.

"It’s hard to keep excitement from turning into fear when you see those waves casually tossing around huge modern boats like toys,"   she wrote   in the post, which published Wednesday.

"But there’s a wild beauty in the North Sea, a reminder of nature’s raw power, and I feel incredibly lucky to be part of this adventure."

Ms Dana's body was found trapped underneath the capsized boat, Faroe Islands news website   local.fo   reported.

Norway's Sea Rescue Society (NSSR) described conditions when the boat capsized as very demanding,   posting a video of the strong winds and high sea   west of the town of Stad.

It said waves were up to 5m (16ft) and winds were as much as 40 knots.

According to Ms Dana's LinkedIn profile, she is an archaeologist specialising in the Viking era, with previous experience working and studying in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, Spain, England, Germany, Morocco, China and Taiwan.

In 2023, Ms Dana joined the Florida chapter of The Explorers Club.

The Explorers Club is a prestigious international organisation founded in 1904 by Arctic explorers to promote scientific discovery and research.

Joseph Dituri, the chairman of The Explorers Club's Florida chapter who sponsored Ms Dana's entry into the club last year, said that her death is a reminder "that we make these dangerous Expeditions and Explorations look easy but they are not".

"This brave Explorer left this planet doing something she loved entirely too early," he told BBC News.

"Her exploration spirit was evident in everything she did as well as her zest for life! It is a better world having had her in it."

Dr Dituri, who holds a Guinness World Record for having spent 100 days in an underwater habitat, said that Ms Dana had begun to pursue an archaeology masters degree in June at the University of the Highlands and Islands at the remote Orkney Island campus.

"As she finished her first excavation unearthing Iron Age Viking artifacts in the Orkneys, Karla shared, 'I’m happy to say I’m living out my dreams,'" Dr Dituri said.

Earlier, she had led a project in Costa Rica, doing ethnographic field research on the Ngöbe Indigenous Tribe. Her work culminated in book about the tribe's language, legends and traditions.

Bergur Jacobsen, who is chairman of the Naddoddur boat club on the Faroe Islands, told the BBC that everyone was very sad about what had happened.

He explained that the 10m-long boat had been on previous Viking voyages before to Iceland, Shetland and Norway.

"It's not a Viking boat, it's a Faroes fishing boat without a motor but with sails."

He said he could not speak about the accident as a Norwegian investigation team was due to speak to him.

Locals were said to be in shock over the accident. One seaman told the BBC that visitors were keen to go on expeditions with the boat, although he would not have done so himself.

The expedition had been postponed for several days because of bad weather until Saturday.

One of four Swiss nationals on the trip, Andy Fitze, posted a map on social media two days into the voyage showing the boat to the north-east of Shetland.

Before the trip, the Faroese member of the crew, Livar Nysted, said when you were in the middle of a storm "you just try to do the best you can".

"It's an open boat. You sleep under the stars and when it's raining or windy you can feel the elements."

The expedition was not affiliated with the Viking Cruises company.

  1. University Club Yacht

    University Club Yacht. I recently bought the university club yacht, however, when i used it, it spent most of the time on its side! The sails and rudder didnt seem to control the yacht, and the water was calm and only a gentle breeze blowing. I tried tightening the sails, shortening the movement of the sails, but nothing seemed to improve.
