Oracle BMW Racing USA Sailing Boat

Making waves at big racing regattas including the America's Cup, the USA-76 is now available in a handy-sized R/C version. With the cooperation of the main sponsor Oracle BMW Racing, the finished results are breathtaking. The ABS injection molded hull is artfully finished in high quality paint and fitted out in minute detail. The additional 5 sailor figures included (also sold separately as a set of 5 / No. F026) are each formed as if they were performing their respective tasks during a race to capture the air of tension and teamwork. It even creates that atmosphere as a display model, so you can imagine its bow cutting through the swell. Although its high quality finish would make you think it was for display only, it is actually a fully operational high performance yacht and not only includes mast and sails, but is also complete with installed radio control system. Just add the batteries and you're ready for the starters gun. Also includes high quality aluminum display stand. Using exactly the same physics as the real yacht, you can trim the sheets and sail around a course to your hearts content!

Features:

  • Uses a detachable bulb-keel that passes through the deck to make transportation easy.
  • Reflects true racing yacht sailing efficiency.
  • A perfect undercoat finish is covered in high quality paint that produces a hard surface with a deep luster.
  • Fully assembled. Just hoist the sail and insert batteries and you're ready to start looking for the next wind shift.
  • Both jib and main sails are pre-cut and printed, with sail battens already glued in place.
  • The hull shape delivers ideal three dimensional efficiency in response to wind and delivers excellent sailing performance.
  • The 5 sailor figures are in the middle of the action. Each is hand painted and captures the different emotions under race pressure.
  • The sail servo and pulley produce plenty of stroke to open up and run downwind, or winch the sails in for a close haul. Combine this with the rudder to operate it exactly like its full sized original, but without the seasickness. Kyosho has put the majesty and excitement of yacht racing at your finger tips, so why not take the helm?
