Hello, I am new to the world of RC Boats , However I have built full size boats as well as scale models. I primarily would like to start by getting information regarding the America’s Cup Boats, then find plans to build one . And do a build log . I have browsed the site as a guest and thought to join in

Best Regards,
Pete

I wanted to share that I am also a member of Model Ship world with the same user name and avatar ( Herreshoff 12 1/2 )and as a big fan of the America’s Cup I am currently building 3 cup Boats KA-6 , US-55 & US-23 in a 3/16" = 1’ - 0 " scale . I am looking forward to bridging the gap between full size builds and Scale model builds by building RC Sailboats,here is a photo of my hull only build of KA-6 ( The Boxing Kangaroo )
