RC Sailboat: T27 Racing Sloop

The T27 is a smaller, more portable remote controlled sailboat that is 27 inches long, 4 feet high (keel to masthead), and weighs just 2 pounds. This model sailboat is a charm to build, and it looks just as magnificent as its larger counterparts when out on the water. The T27 model boat is controlled via radio control system, just like our other RC boats, where one servo controls both sails simultaneously while the other servo steers the boat with its rudder. This RC sailboat is the continuation of the enormously popular T37 design. The T27 has a very similar hull shape, but, being 10 inches shorter than the T37, it is more portable and easier to carry. The smaller size allows sailors to pack the model boat away and bring it along on vacations or trips. It employs a slightly different construction method than the T37, as the T27’s hull plywood is thinner. Small size doesn't have to mean small performance! This model boat uses a weighted cast ballast fin keel so it physically cannot cap
