Member Model – Victoria Sailboat

Featured Kit by Thunder Tiger

Over the past seven years I have built or refurbished over a dozen Victoria’s model sailboats.  It is a popular model and I participate in races held by Confederation Marine Modellers, Fifty Point Yacht Club (RC Division), Metro Marine Modellers and Woodstock Model Boat Club.  Sailing a Victoria competitively is rather like chess – an hour to learn and a lifetime to master.  But while we are competitive we really have fun sailing and we all go home good friends.

The Victoria Class is one of the largest, least expensive and most popular R/C one-design model yacht classes in Canada. It is almost 31” long and weighs just 4 ½ pounds. Fabricated of ABS plastic, it is simple to assemble.

Because of its small size, it is easily transportable in the family car to sailing venues and it is available in kit form from several Ontario hobby stores.
