Topic: As part of our ongoing series, join Modelsailboat.com owner Will Lesh for a presentation on radio controlled model sailboats. Many members have these boats or are currently working on putting their model boats together. Sailboats come ready to use or you can buy a kit and make your own. Will also has built a 24 foot “real” sailboat out of western red cedar and then sailed it across the Atlantic. He will share some of his stories regarding this experience as well.
