Hello everyone 
My name is Lukasz Koch. I live in NE Poland in the great area of “thousand lakes”. For a living I own and operate a pizza restaurant, but for a hobby I discovered last year a RC sailing. Since among polish forum I couldn’t find nothing specific about saliling I found your forum. So far I build one boat, based on the pland of america’s cup winner Australia II. I would say it was succesful, the boat sailed and listened to my commands, but the quality of workmanship it was terrible :D!!! Now I decided to design and build a NSS 650 STANDARD class boat, which is Poland’s national class. The boat is a variation of RG 65 boat, with cosmetic differences (total length of a keel we measure from very bottom of the hull not from waterline). I would like to post my build log here and ask all of you for advice and a word of support.
Best regard,
Lukasz Koch
I may have the same boat i got it in a trade. Aussie II not built yet.
I am a big fan of the RG65 class. Can you give more info on this 650 standard class?
This is a great place for help and support. Just search the past post’s for almost anything or just ask for what you need.
Good luck on your build and post it here.
