 Dickie Speleug RC Sailboat twin motor July 6, 2008
My first RC toy sailboat Sank on the third day and trial in the yard pond. Ran aground on the edge and sank by the stern. Fried the RC controls because they are not water protected and the hull had ZERO floation. Store refuned money. It also was supposed to come with rechargable batteries. Did not. Had an attachable keel with some keel weight. Some models shown have a rudder mine did not and was unable to use the wind to sail. It was fun but for a few dollars 25$ more the Sea Lite with motor was much more fun and durable and it has a rudder and trimable sails by RC this boat does not. It is a small pool toy and delicate and easy to sink and destroy and I enjoyed playing with it while it lasted which is why it is on the to fix someday pile. I would suggest anyone buying this put silicon sealer on the electronics and styrofoam floation in the hull too.
Fun, but not a real sailboat January 12, 2008
This is a great toy for my grandchildren, ages three and eight. It is not a sailboat however, since there is no rudder or keel. It is really a motorboat with twin screws for turning. I had to put holes in the sails to pervent overturning in even a slight breeze. I also tied the boom to the stern along the centerline to keep the boat upright. With these simple fixes, my grandchildren their boats.
 Simba Radio Control Sailboat December 19, 2007
The batteries were difficult to install and required a special screwdriver. After using the remote, the propeller got stuck, so it has been in the "repair pile" since its first use.
 Take off the sail and it is a nice boat October 30, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
With the sail and the boom the boat would tip and get pushed around by the wind. We took off the sail and the boom (still has the mast) and it motors around just fine now. Just looks like a sailboat with the sail down. We bought two other RC boats and both took on water right away and died. This one has been to the pool at least 6 times now and there is no sound of water inside or any trouble. So this is the best RC boat of the 3 we purchased by far.
