why aren't there more forums in the sailboats section???

I'm into real sailboat and windsurfers and I was thinking about buying a victor models wild cat. But i see that there's no body in this forum and i wondering if people are still into r/c sailboats or not.

This forum has only been up for a short time, so, it'll take time to establish a base for the sailboater's part of it. R/C sailcraft are very popular right now, as witnessed by the new kits coming from several companies. Keep viewing and you'll likely see more sal-related posts.

The last few issues of RC Boat Modeler has some very good articles on sail boats which is encouraging. The Oct 2002 issue has an article converting a static display, Billings Mary Ann, to RC. This is a 22 inch north sea trawler that has sails but powered with an electric motor.

I have a 36 inch north sea trawler, Helen, that I want to use that sail besides a motor. I am still working on how to control the sails.
