RC stands for "radio controlled" or sometimes "remote controlled". Our products are all RC sailboats (radio controlled sailboats). Here at Sail RC we offer the finest products to go RC sailing. So however you call it, you will have a great time with our RC model sailboats whether on land, sea or ice.
Welcome to RC Sailing -
We are here to help you enjoy the sport of radio controlled model sailing. Whether you are just starting out, or an old salt, you will find great information posted here, all designed to help you enjoy this booming sport. Not only is our information technically accurate, and detailed, but we are also promptly available to you via email or phone. Above all, we would like you to know that you have found an operation run by model sailors for model sailors and we are excited by your interest in this great sport.
We are a lot different than the average store . . . in that we actively participate in the sport of RC sailboat racing. That means we know all the details of model sailing boats from first hand experience. Racing is the most demanding aspect of sailing, and the most fun. We mention this because we know about performance, so we aren't going to handle a product that doesn't perform reliably.
Currently we represent four different RC sailboat classes, which are, without question, the best in their class.
RC Laser (42")
Proud boat parents with their RC Laser
The RC Laser is the most popular one-design model boat sailing in the world today, with over 8000 in North America alone. The reason is simple - the RC Laser is the best value in RC sailing! It comes ready to sail, performs in a wide range of winds, includes complete electronics, and is almost indestructible (only "poly hull" model sailboat in the world). At 42" long, it is a big model, but packs in a carry case in just two minutes for easy transportation and storage. The RC Laser is exceptionally well engineered, and is supported by us with full parts and service stateside. It is simply the very best RC sailboat in the world today. RTS in Special Bag from $550.

Seawind (39")
The Seawind is rediscovered class. Around for many years, it is now supported by a fine class organization and class is growing rapidly. We sell this boat either as a kit, for those that enjoy building, or Ready-to-Sail. A beautiful boat which as just a comfortable on the mantel as out on the water. Designed to look like the Americas Cup boats in the 1990's this boat has the look of power and speed. A wonderful addition to our one design offerings. Kit from $289, RTS from $499. Learn More
Nirvana (32")

Nirvana II (32" radio controlled sailboat) - We knew a good thing when we saw this little boat. At 32", it is at the minimum size that will handle wind and sea conditions like a real boat. Even though produced by a major hobby company, the Nirvana was designed, tested, and production engineered by the same man that developed the RC Laser. This is a great entry level boat. Ready to sail, with all electronics included at around $200.

Stealth S-Series (32")
L toR, SS1, SS2, SS3. The tried and proven production land sailers,
one for each of the three "box" classes of land sailing.

You won't believe our line of Stealth S-SEries "hard surface" RC sailboats. These radical speed merchants sail on any parking lot or other hard surface, and are soooooo exciting. We now offer three sizes, based on the three racing classes of model land yachts. And, yes, take off the wheels and put on ice runners and they scream across the ice! Again, great value, terrific performance, and rough and tough construction. These "One Niter" kits start under $200.
