Hi! My Dad would like a model sailing ship to sail in our local park with the grand kids. I haven’t been able to find them locally and wondered if anyone could let me know of anywhere online that I could source one.

 I would prefer to buy one ready made, rather than it being a kit to make up. The boat must have sails(not motor powered) and be around 12-16 inches long. Good 2nd hand would be acceptable if a new one is out of my price range. I haven’t got much to spend so any help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks!

Regards Paul

Hi, thanks for the response. I am based in the Grimsby area (Lincolnshire) so anything within a 50 mile radius would be possible, though ideally I could just order online and have it delivered before Xmas fingers crossed.

The boat must be non motorised, as a few years back my Dad had made this same request for one but obviously hasn’t been pleased with the powered remote control boat I purchased for him then. For me, a motorised boat would seem much more appealling than a sail boat, especially if the grand kids are going to retain interest in it, but for some reason my Dad wants a sail boat.
