Voyager 280 RC Controlled Wind Powered Sailboat in Blue -17.5" Tall

First, this boat is very small. Given its size don't expect it to handle big seas or winds, but it is a fully functional and very well designed little RC sailboat. Out if the box after a battery charge we were sailing in a boat harbor immediately and without any trouble. The boat sails exactly as I would expect, tacks quickly, reaches like a race horse and will do wing on wing just fine. What a great way to get into the RC hobby! On first look all the RC gear below is completely legit. Real servos and receiver. Love it! It really is quite small so keep that in mind. For anything serious get a bigger boat.

I really enjoyed this sailboat! It was a lot of fun and I took it out on a fairly calm day and it handled the wind quite well. Had a lot of fun with it and continue to enjoy it.

Pretty nice little sailboat works well , only reason 4 stars is I ordered the blue one specifically and got the red one

Way cheaper than 3d printing your own RC footy sailboat. No off the shelf kits for building a footy are even currently available, let alone a ready to sail one. This is it. There has been considerable debate on the internets whether RC sailboats under a meter long will even work. Or mysteriously only work if it is an overpriced discontinued Graupner Micro Magic. Obviously that is a bunch of BS. Small pond yachts have been sailing in ponds without issue for thousands of years, without needing corrective RC control for that matter. This one is very efficient / quick and likes wind under 10mph. There are real servos in the hull, one proportionally controlling both sails together and the other the proportional rudder. The battery that controls these servos and receiver is a tiny ~125mah lipo that is charged by plugging it in to the back of the transmitter. It lasts in actual sailing conditions at least 45 min, which was the max length of my attention span for performing this retarded activity that people think is somehow really fancy. The hatch needs to be opened to plug in the lipo before and unplug it after sailing. Thankfully there is no through hull switch as those tend to fail frequently in RC boats. There is a tiny spring inexplicably holding holding the front of the jib sail on. Of the two of these foot long boats I have procured, I have replaced this thingie with some kite string and a knot which is what is usually expected here. Oh the humanity. People in the park have suggested I attach a taxidermy or live mouse to the deck of the boat. Told them Stuart Little was still on the fiction shelf the last time I checked.

Got this for my dad and he liked it but there are some down sides. The distance for it to work is very short and if there is no wind then it does not work. IT has to have wind to function and it is a bit on the smaller side. It is fun when it works but not exactly what we were expectation and the motor could use a little bit more work on the direction.

Sailboat is not working. It was a gift for my nephew. Carried it all the way to realize that the wind control is broken and is not working. I missed the return window by the time I returned from my trip so I can’t return it. It was a big disappointment and a waste of money.

A great way to learn the basics of sailing! It takes a bit of getting used to, but it works! I recommend getting the version with the propeller until you learn how to sail it. Be careful though that nothing gets stuck in the prop! I almost lost the boat!

I was surprised, but this boat is very cool and it works great. It sails well and it works very nicely under power as well.

La descrizione del prodotto fatta dal fornitore è corretta. E' fatto bene. Puntuale la consegna. In piscina va bene, In mare non l'ho provata, ma credo che sia troppo leggera. Non bisogna dimenticare che è un giocattolo e come tale deve essere valutato (5 stelle)

Sehr zu frieden

Lots of fun, but doesn't handle heavy wind. More for playing in the pool.

Boa compra, produto deve ser montado por um adulto, é frágil.
