RC Sailboat & Model Sailing Guide

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.

It first appeared in the year 2000 in the ORMA Multihull Championship. The class has only a few standard parameters, but is in general quite flexible. These trimarans create quite some speed and look truly amazing. Here you can find a link to the plans:
