Stiletto Specs
The one that started it all: Stiletto!
Meet Stiletto--a 1/4 scale R/C model of my America's Land sailing Cup winner: US 203. It has many of the same features found on full size land yachts, including a double-tapered wing mast, weight-tuned suspension, variable rake mast, etc. Unlike the few other available models, it is not a "sailboat on wheels". Rather, it is a true Model Land Yacht. With a top speed of over 30 MPH, you won't find a better kit anywhere.
Stiletto is a complete yacht, with the finest materials used for its construction. In fact, with the exception of a "High wind" sail for 18 MPH+ conditions, there's nothing you could add to refine the yacht.
All models feature an injection molded front end fork. While the Stiletto has a Fiberglass molded Body and rear axle.
Due to the length of the mast and the resulting high shipping costs " Down Under" I developed a split wing mast which cuts the cost to about $ 80.00
The Stealth line features a vacuum molded clear "hull" and laser cut Plywood deck and frame. All parts and assemblies are individually available for the "do it yourselfer". E-mail for prices on any components, wheels, sail sheets, etc.
The models developed are the result of years of racing experience and technical knowledge of the particular mechanics of landsailers. While there are some similarities (both sailboat and landsailer have a sail, for example), there are some fairly distinct differences between them: most notably.......speed! Think of half a high-performance glider (airplane)....on edge and on wheels, and you're beginning to get the idea. Stiletto is not a replica of a 1970's design, but a model of a 1990's America's Cup winning landyacht!
