Pacer Land Yacht
Although not strictly speaking a boat it is a yacht and fun when you can't get to the pond but fancy a sail!
Built from magazine free plans mainly of balsa, carbon mast and drafting film it is just as challenging as normal RC sailing.
Operated on a 2CH Rc is has front wheel steering. The wheels are model aircraft wheels. The rear outrigger wheels and mast can easily be dsmantled for transportation. The outrigger is also ballasted to Improve handling.

You don't see too many of these around but there are a number of plans available. in all the time I've had this I've not yet had a race with another! (You tend not to see yachts sailing in car parks...) Still, fun to sail - and a different technique to control, so needs practice. As with the full size land yachts the best is sailing on two wheels.
The big difference is that you keep your feet dry to recover a capsized yacht! 😊
