Anyone know anything about RC Sailboats

Here's a good place to start:

I used to race an International Marblehead Class, Woodpecker design here in
Australia.

What would you like to know?

See:

and

For your area (Washington?) it looks as if EC-12's are the most popular:

You are more than welcome :-)

Micro Fleet/Radio Sailing is pretty serious business for some folks, so
if you are really interested be sure to check out Appendix E (Appendix
E RADIO-CONTROLLED BOAT RACING RULES) of the Racing Rules of Sailing
(RRS 2001-2004) --

RRS 2001-2004 can be found he

http://www.ussailing.org/rules/

and he

http://www.sailing.org/menu.asp?Menu...7vTvOOQY12%60?

and for international RC Sailing info, rules etc., etc., here is the
ISAF/ISRS site:

http://www.radiosailing.org/

Reading up on, and having a basic understanding the RC racing rules,
will give you a leg up when you contact your local clubs for advise
and/or watching a local RC regatta.
