Model junk.

    While watching a group sailing model yachts I was almost tempted to join them. They were all sailing a Joysway dragon force 65. which Im informed cost less than 3 car tanks fill of petrol or much less than half a boat dollar. 

    It did occur to me that this is an idea that could be useful for us all. If we agreed on a suitable platform which used junk sail I will certainly build one .If we developed a hull that we could switch rigs to experiment with different rig ideas then that would be even better. 

    My initial thoughts are for something that fits within one of the existing model yacht classes and could be built from plywood by any of us. There is a john Spencer design   that caught my eye which might serve. 

    Anyone interested. ??
