3D-PRINTABLE RC YACHTS FOR ENTHUSIASTS
Print, build and sail your dream yacht!
We offer 3D-printing files for home-built RC yachts which look and sail like real yachts. The boats are functional, radio-controlled model yachts, ranging from classic monohull boats to racing multihulls that can fly on foils.
YACHTPRINT sailboats are tested designs that sail reliably in light winds and strong breezes. They are foremost functional models for actual sailing rather than for display although performing in both disciplines.
Each file package includes building instructions, a parts list, and a sail plan. Many of our designs fit with keels, rudders, and rigs from commercial RC yachts. These components can be purchased as spare parts to reduce building time. In addition we can supply custom model sails and composite hull shells upon individual request.
Our monohull sailing boats range from classical cruiser racers like the X-99 up to foiling IMOCAS like "Malizia"
The multihulls are a thrill to sail! The foiling boats provide a knife edge experience with highest speeds.
HOW TO BUILD A 3D PRINTED BOAT
1 DOWNLOAD FILES
For downloading the files and building instructions get in contact with us. The payment is done using Paypal money transfers.
2 PRINT THE PARTS
We use LW-PLA/ASA for hull parts and PLA+/CF/HT-GF for structural parts. The print plate should be 205mm min per axis.
3 ASSEMBLY
The parts can be glued with CA, Epoxy or any special PLA glue. This stage goes fast! The boats can be painted or foil wrapped.
4 RC installation
Standard RC components can be used that are purchased separately. For the rig there are plans and STL for rig fittings included.
HOW THE YACHTS ARE DESIGNED
The yachts are designed in CAD, inspired by real vessels. Physical properties such as underwater volume are adjusted to scale until they sail balanced and feel right.
The result is a 'yacht in the computer' that can be split into printable parts. Our goal is to create yachts that look just as impressive under sail as they do on display.
