I have a boat that was given to me to sell.
Im trying to figure out what it is exactly so I can understand
what price I should put on it, or if I should buy it myself.
The boat is 1 meter long. It has a wooden deck
and stern that is 1/16 thick plywood. The rest of the boat appears
to be a plastic material. The mast appears to be original and is 62
½ tall. It has brass fittings on the deck and mast. There
is a third servo on the boat that controls the back stay. The sail
servo is a Futaba S25 servo. It is hard chinned, and the keel is massive
and made of aluminum. The ballast is has an unusual shape, in that
it has wings. I hope the picture helps.
Any info would be appreciated. Right now
we are thinking it might be a Robbe Boat

I don't think this
is a commercial product. The style is very much home brew, with its
alu fin and winged keel, linked to wooden spars and to a curved main
boom. I'm certainly not aware of anything by Robbe that looks like
this. Given that it originates in the US and is 1 metre long in that
stronghold of Imperial measurement it MAY be built to the US 1-m Rule,
but I don't know the detail of this Rule so I can't say definitively.
I would have thought the depth of the fin is too great for a boat
to that class. Certainly none of the few pictures of US 1-m that I
recall had anything so extreme. RP
