Sailing Part 4

Remember that yacht I got for Christmas?

It’s stuffed.

I won’t go into it as it is a rather long, boring story

The good news is there is another yacht that I want to get that isn’t a piece of shit made in Chine. Ok, yes, it’s made in China, but from the sources and information I’ve found on the internet, it’s a rather good first boat (I don’t count my Triumph 800 as my first yacht, it’s more like a floating piece of junk).

It’s called a Victoria, and it’s a kit yacht. Meaning I pretty have to build it from scratch, except the hull, which is already moulded into shape.

Here’s a rather nice video I found

All up, it’s going to cost close to $500 with radio control equipment, batteries and a charger. There are after-market upgrades you can get from various third-party vendors, but they’re more for racing than pleasure.

Hopefully I can get it just before Christmas.

And this time, I am going to be patient and wait for the right wind conditions to sail it.

Until next time
