Designed for both realistic sailing performance and stylish display, it includes five pre-painted figures and an aluminum stand, making it a standout for hobbyists seeking authentic yachting experience and elegant presentation. ## Description The fascinating world of Yachting is captured in all its glory in this compact 612mm long yacht created. Scale parts and pre-painted figures adorn the deck so this 40042S-B can also take pride of place as an interior display. But it is more at home on the water where no compromise has been made in the full application of Kyosho renowned yacht design skills. Sail shape and aspect ratio combine with the precision hull and keel design to generate efficient power through the water as the wind fills the sails for scale performance more than equal to full size yachts. The bright color-printed sails are created in PE material with optimal elasticity, durability and permeability to produce real racing yacht performance. A 2.4GHz R/C system provides interference-free control of the pre-assembled and pre-painted hull so you can start sailing almost as soon as you take it out of the box. Review: Perfect condition - Update: It took me about a few months to get it sailing finally, only because the peg the holds the main sail broke so I had to glue it. It’s all fixed and it finally sails, the rest of what caused the delay was wind. And when a bit of wind picks up it sails pretty fast. Old Review: It’s amazing! This sailboat did not have any damage, modules are good, and sails are in good shape! But it took me a few minutes on how to assemble the sails and the batteries but other than that it’s in perfect condition, exactly like the picture! Also it was my choice on putting one figure. I tested it with a fan and it holds together. Also FYI you will need some glue for figures if you want any on the boat, (don’t glue the mast), and it does come with double sided tape. Also for the future buyers and friendly reminder: Please while making a review put in some more details, because Others would like to know what is wrong with it. Review: Good little sailboat - Got a Great Deal on one that had been returned to a hobby store. I think original owners experienced servo failure during setup. Store owner said it had never been in the water, which seemed accurate. I sailed it recently. It sailed nicely in very light conditions. Perfect for 5-10 knots on small ponds with little fetch and small waves. Pro's Easy to assemble. Easy to sail. Super friendly feel. Con's The main & jib sheet are connected together under the deck with a small swage. I found this to catch on the battery pack. I pulled the rigging replaced with two full-length sheets, using 40# test braided fishing line. Friction in the system. Changing to the thinner 40# line reduced the friction in the system and made it so the sails run out on a beam/downwind run more easily. Some users complain of water entry into the hull. I wasn't in even wind to verify, but it does appear to me that the deck seals would keep water out. Power switch. It's buried down in the hull and hard to get to. I may 3D print up a mount to raise it off the hull floor to keep out of any water that gets in, and to make it easier to reach. No available parts from Kyosho America web site that I can find. I'm thinking this boat may be out of production. The links to accessories and parts don't work. ## Features - Scale realism is enhanced with 5 pre-painted figures and a variety of accessory parts - 2.4GHz 2-channel R/C system equipped with sail servo produces realistic sailing control. - Aluminum boat stand included can also be used to create a stylish display. - Pre-painted and assembled hull produces a high quality finish. - Mast, keel and rudder can be removed without any tools for easy, compact transportation. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00OJ2MHYM | | Batteries | AA batteries required. | | Best Sellers Rank | #914,002 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #905 in Remote- & App-Controlled Boats | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 3.7 out of 5 stars (22) | | Date First Available | November 3, 2014 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 2 pounds | | Item model number | 40042S-B | | Manufacturer | Kyosho Corporation of America | | Manufacturer recommended age | 14 years and up | | Product Dimensions | 24.1 x 5.1 x 44.7 inches | ## Images ![Kyosho 40042S-B Fortune 612 III Ready Set RC Sailboat Vehicle, 612 mm, Blue/Red/White - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41tYSgOU7BL.jpg) ![Kyosho 40042S-B Fortune 612 III Ready Set RC Sailboat Vehicle, 612 mm, Blue/Red/White - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Fuz5delhL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What are the interior dimensions? As in, how much space is there inside the hull where the servos? Looking to modify and add some electronics inside.** A: Not much flexibility and very small room to maneuver **Q: Having some trouble getting the receiver and transmitter to bind. Do you have an suggestions?** A: when binding, make sure receiver is off, turn on transmitter first, the receiver and attempt to bind. Think thats how it goes. Hope that helps **Q: What is the maximum range of the REmote control in meters?** A: I’m not sure what the maximum range is. The furthest I have sailed it from my dock in meters is 76 meters **Q: Can the mainsail be reefed?** A: With the way the rigging is designed, no, it can’t be reefed. However, one could possibly, with giving more thought to the manner in which it may be reefed, redesign the mainsail set up ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect condition *by B***Y on June 9, 2022* Update: It took me about a few months to get it sailing finally, only because the peg the holds the main sail broke so I had to glue it.

It’s easy to assemble, set up and very easy to sail. The directions for set up could be better written but they still are enough explanation to complete the assembly.
