Suncoast model sailing club in Punta Gorda has racing 4 days per week and hosts 4 different classes. This is the smallest. These remote control sailboats are about 20" long and have lots of hi tech carbon fiber in their construction. Today they raced about 20 boats in two fleets in about 15 knots of breeze. Several skippers switched their sails to a smaller set to try to keep the boat more upright and easier to sail. We watched the East Coast 12 meter class yesterday, they measure 72" long and 84" from keel to masthead. $$$$
