"Shelagh Maire," AC Design "Advantage"
"Shelagh Maire," Bob Sterne's AC
Design "Advantage"
The "Shelagh Maire" is
an AC Class Advantage Bob Sterne design.
This is the most exciting
class to hit Model Yachting in a long time. The yachts are big, fast
and beautiful, plus they are
easy to sail. They represent a 1/12th scale version of the big boats that
compete for the America's Cup. The design is 69" LOA, 55" LWL, 16" beam,
25 pounds displacement, with 2080 square inches of sail. It uses Bob's
Boatyards' Delta-Bulb keel, and a semi-scale deck, with a large cockpit
aft of the mast.
The Shelagh Maire is built from scratch using
red cedar, epoxy and fiberglass for the hull and deck, and ash and mahogany
for the trim. The metal detail on the bow is nickel and silver. Winch and drum
cover are copper and brass. The rig is carbon fiber with mylar sails. The radio
is a 3 function design.
The Shelagh Maire is extremely maneuverable,
and great for match racing. Pure sailing pleasure!
Price: Sold.
