The articles below are a series of step-by-step information help guides to build a 36/600 model yacht. The main parts, the hull, mast, and keel fin for this project has been obtained from suppliers of model yacht parts. The reasons for this is it easier to purchase these parts than it is to make them, and the purched parts are better quality. The hard part is the "how and why" to put all of the parts together correctly. If not done right, the results will be a yacht that will not perform well. I hope the articles I have written here will be helpful and create new ideas to solve problems to make your sailboats go fast. Dave Acree
