New to the forum hope someone can help.

Recently considered a return to Rc Yachts. Last time made the Billings Dragen which was
about 30” long.

Fell in love with the Tamiya Yamaha 40 EX
Cruiser Yacht which I think is about 24” long, but this is
discontinued now.

Does anyone know, are there any kits,
or plans, similar to the Yamaha 40.
Thinking more scale model I guess, than class types that are over the 1 metre
Length.

I guess I like the larger size
model because the Models can seem dwarfed in the water. I guess the 36” length
becomes a practical size for handling, or is it more to do with manufacture, or
both.

I have searched the internet and
found the Robbe Smaragd/Estelle and Grapner Rubin.

Would welcome any comments on
size question. Thanks in advance for any
Help.

Regards

Dave
