Wow, it is unbelievable but now you can sail your virtual RC Sailboat in Second Life.
For all you who don’t know Second Life – it is a virtual world where you can pretty much do everything you can do in the real world. From working to sports, shopping to now rc sailing.

This guy build his own RC Dutch Barge and I have to say it looks quite nice.

Here is a link to the article of Ravishal playing with his virtual boat and where you can even buy the boat (if you are in Second Life). Also has another picture of the barge under full sail.

After reading George Steels article on free sailing model sailboats I had a look around on ebay and found this beautiful ketch. I really like the look of this sailboat and am very tempted to get one of these model sailboat kits myself.

Sorry but this offer is no longer available. Try ebay.com and search for “model sailboat plan”
