Links
Some sites/links/people that I
have personally found to be very informative and helpful since I took up this
hobby/sport some seven or so years ago.
Shirley &
Malcolm offer fantastic service
They are suppliers of SailsEtc, Pekabe, Hales, etc., r/c yacht fittings
as well as being suppliers of RMG Winches and Spektrum Radio Systems. Click on the above logo to go to the new website, (as at August
2007), now including a Gallery section.
Updated again, with the special promotion of the Micro Magic yacht, (as
at October 2007), and links to the Micro Magic forums'.
New Zealand East Coast 12 Owners' Association
New Zealand site for the East Coast
12 Metre - This site is constantly being updated. There are some awesome pictures of EC12's in full flight on this
site
Fantastic service from Rhonda and Adrian
These folks offer an exceptional range of fittings for all types of boating, and
if you are into scale boating, then this is the place to go. They have also taken up the Micro Magic so support is growing for this little
yacht that is available in standard and racing versions.
Ask to be put on the mailing list for their recently launched Model Maritime
News newsletter for their latest information.
You can actually get to speak
to Rob himself. How good is that!
Absolutely top-notch service from Alec. From a cold
call enquiry for a custom set of sails to delivery in just 9 days! Some great tips on sail tuning as well!
Builders of the A2 Class yacht - Australia II
Victor
Model Products
USA Manufacturer of the 1-metre Australia II and
Stars & Stripes 12-metre boats
All of the above organisations I
have had personal contact with and can highly recommend their services and or
products. And should you wish to contact me with any questions regarding the
above I will be only too happy to answer any queries you may have. The links
above have not been solicited. Funnily enough, if I get exceptional service then
I like to let others know. I know it's a radical departure from the accepted
practice of just complaining when it's bad but never saying anything if it's
good. Hey, but what the heck, let's go wild here!
Other Links
A credit to the sport in that they welcome
absolutely anybody who wants to sail, irrespective of size or style or type of
boat. (IC powered boats excluded)
Very useful resource for many different
classes of yachts. Very good supporting and construction links. An excellent
site
My Favourite Non-Boating Suppliers' Links although some of the stuff I
previously got from some of these guys is now available through Radio Yacht
Supplies Australia
