Hi All,<br><br>I just joined your club. I am newly retired & thinking about getting into rc sailing. I really like the looks of the V32 (although I've only...
Hello, JP. Hope you decide to go ahead with R/C sailing, no matter what boat you choose. The V-32 is an excellent first boat, being good-looking, inexpensive,...
The idea of a kit boat with preferred radio placement being faster is ridiculous! Not to mention that if you are a believer in this, the battery will be more...
Hi JP,<br><br>You've already gotten some opinions on several aspects of rc yachting. Whatever you read keep this in mind: ask five skippers anything and you ...
Hey Beach, I'm in West Chester, PA. Email if you want to see a finished kit sail. We have to wait until my pond thaws though. Any day now! The V32k was my ...
Beach, one other thing. When you build the kit, beside moving the batteries, there is another way to build the radio layout. I believe the kit will be very ...
Hello JP<br>My personal preference would be to get an RTS boat. However, that being said, there is an inherant satisfaction one gets when building a boat and...
To Dennis, Baron, Russell, et. al.<br><br>Many thanks for your input regarding kit vs. RTS.<br><br>I admit to a huge case of "analysis paralysis" & know that...
JP, If you want to test sail the V32, let me know. I'm about 10 minutes from Marsh Creek State Park. I'm still not sure if it's frozen yet!If you check my ...
Thanks, I've only seen the boat on-line so I'd love an opportunity to test sail it. I have an old atlas which doesn't show the state park you mentioned but I...
Hi Beachhouse,<br> Nice to see your intrest in a V-32. Just to let you know there's a V-32 on E-Bay. You might be able to pick a RTS boat for the price of a...
Hey Beach, I found Spring Lake. It's a haul but I'd love to go there with you & make a showing for the V32's. FYI Marsh Creek is off Rt 100 N a couple miles...
Todd, I just saw the boat on E-Bay & it is definitely a handsome one. Thanks for letting me know about it. Dennis-I appreciate your offer to let me test sail...
Hey Beach, Traplett Publications has a good one. They will sell direct to you. I'm at work so I'll post the title later if someone else doesn't. They are ...
Beach: Juding by my own experiecne you aren't going to find many current books that specifically are for R/C sailing. A general book on big (as in full sized)...
Thanks, Kent & Dennis for the info on the book & where to buy it. I was beginning to suspect there is little out there after numerous trips to bookstores & ...
Oops. Don't know why a subject didn't show up on my last post. I typed it in twice. BTW, I got in touch with the owner of boat #2670 and got the information I...
Having bought 4 V-32's (3 RTS and one kit)<br>and having bought and built a Victoria, <br>I'd suggest if you REALLY have a building<br>urge to either consider ...
Discussions are commencing for the Tri-City MYC of Placentia, So. California, to be the host of the first ever V-32 Regional Regatta.<br>As more details become...
Hi all,<br><br>I just happened across this article which I had not seen before - pretty nice review of the V32. The article is obviously written by a ...
Hello everyone, <br>By now i hope the most of you know who i am. If not let me tell you that i work at Victor Model and i am the one who builds all the pre ...
Well put Paul, I mean that is why this fleet<br>was formed, was to have a good boat as a <br>True One Design and be affordable, built or<br>by kit.<br>Even ...
Well.... Since I built my own V32, I will have to rebuild my radio deck to conform should the majority decide on a rule change. There was just enough wiggle ...
im building a v32 and never sailed in my life or know much about them. my question is on the building of the boat. the mast socket is not directly over the...
Hi all,<br><br>I just posted a pic in the General Album (sorry about quality). Yes, that is ice in the background!<br><br>Let the season begin!!!<br><br>Matt...
Never having built a V-32, (mine was factory built) I don't have the definitive answer to your question, but the stays don't need to be more than adequately...
I have a factory-built V32 also. I took a peek inside mine to see how this arrangement looked. I am not sure which piece is "center beam #2", but I would guess...
Hey rc, I've built the kit. One of your dimensions is off, either the beam or the mast step. Check the deck dim carefully. I found the numbers to be pretty...
hello, thx all for your replys to my mast socket over beam#2 question. "mudenboat" thinks the dimensions on the directions are off and im begining to believe...
