What our customers say about Racing Sparrow

Being a complete novice, I purchased your book a couple of years ago and built two racing sparrows. Building on this experience I then went on to build, from scratch, an IOM (Triple Crown design). I've since joined a local club and sail virtually every weekend. I would just like to thank you for your endeavours which have allowed me to enter a world I never thought was in my reach.

John Sterland, Australia

Coming upon your book, "Build your own Radio Controlled Yacht" in the Napier Public Library, I am hugely impressed. The combination of your superb photos and illustrations with your easy writing style make it a standout publication and I hope it does well for you.

Richard Spence, New Zealand

Thanks for an excellent design in your RG65. I trialled her again today in a solid 20 knots gusting higher. Even so in a steep chop and fingers off the rudder she drove upwind remarkably well, balanced perfectly. Very impressed that a model boat can handle that with a large rig. I found the book excellent. Ive built several big boats, plus a few skiffs and without that resource building such a good boat would have been impossible.

Mike Bennett

Royal Declerk's cool Multi-Hull , Australia

Jun 11, 2015

Dear Bryn, I felt I had to tell you, my beautiful 75, "Jack Sparrow" got away from me due to a radio malfunction and sailed off into the distance across Port Phillip bay to be not heard of again, probably on its way to China?? so have made three land yachts for the grandchildren, sail them at Sandy Point ( Gippsland)

My latest model is a foiling catamaran based on the AC45 (another brilliant NZ design)(very sad to see NZ beaten in the cup) and so "Black Mamba" has evolved.

Yet to do sea trials but if it works as intended will be amazing. Best wishes from Royal Declerck.

More about Racing Sparrow

When I was nine years old my father, Ross Heveldt taught me to sail down at Bucklands Beach in Auckland. My wee optimist dinghy was called 'The Racing Sparrow', the nickname my uncle Bruce Curry gave to me when I was a small boy. Apparently I had an abundance of energy.

I studied at Whanganui School of Design and have been a designer / developer since 1998. I live in New Zealand.

Best wishes and happy sailing, Bryn Heveldt.

Hurricane 1000 - good product.

Posted by Brian on 2nd Feb 2018

Dispatched the next day, although Castle couriers lost the parcel so took an extra 3 days. Product is quite good quality with a fibreglass hull and nice paint finish. The rigging was slightly different to the instructions but easy to sort out. This is a big model yacht when completed so either has to be stored on the floor, or the rigging removed. Also the same for fitting in your car. Think I might reduce the sail size and mast height to better suit Wellingtons windy conditions. Overall very happy and excellent value for money.

We are currently offering the V11, the innovative design that finished 3rd at the 2019 World Championships in Port Alegre, Brazil.

Set Up and Sail

The V11 detailing is simple but effective. In conjunction with the V11 Set Up Guide, assembly is straight forward, and vital tuning information assists you to quickly understand and master your V11's potential

Vickers RC Sailing build processes are well refined and thought out.

Our boats are light, stiff and clever,  keeping to a simple and effective philosophy around detailing

The V11 design is a hull, foils and bulb package to compliment the full range of conditions experienced in RC Sailing. The hull design has full volume forward and features the familiar chines and tumblehome of the modern IOM for reduced weight and windage, as well as good tracking characteristics. The V11 features our peaked style foredeck for efficient water shedding when buried downwind and a geometrically strong shape for the forestay and mast ram areas.

Foils are slippery and strategically positioned with the rig to balance the yacht. The V11s forgiving balance through the wind range, allows the skipper to focus on the race at hand, and not rely on micro steering to maintain a consistent VMG.

The rig sits solid on its deck stepped mast step, complimented at deck level with an encapsulating mast gate arrangement over the mast ram. The rudder tube is rigidly supported inside the moulded servo tray. 

Hull construction is from E-Glass Fibreglass Cloth and High Grade Epoxy Resin.

The foils are Carbon Fibre Layup with High Grade Epoxy Resin.

Paint system is a 2 pot Urethane and the boat is thoroughly post cured before finishing.

The V11 Features-

Plastic main hatch access. 

Ready to accept RMG Winch and Standard sized Rudder Servo

Bow Bumper attached.

Hardware is Bantock including an adjustable mast ram, adjustable mainsheet post and tiller arm.

All necessary fittings attached for standing and running rigging.

The V11 comes out of our workshop in Beach Haven, Auckland New Zealand and is ready to accept rigs and electrics.

We also make sails that can be added to the order, or ordered separately.

So hit the enquiry button to discuss delivery times and options.

We are ready to help.

Essential to success in sailing comes down to the  Rig and how it is set up and tuned. The V11 comes with a Set Up Guide that covers all the expert information needed to set up like the guns. It specifies the hardware, construction and tuning information to get your rig and sails set up and sailing near optimum straight off the bat, so you can enjoy your racing and punch above your weight.

Include Sets of sails from Vickers RC Sailing and enhance the experience.

Vickers Rc Sailing is back taking orders again for the V11

We look forward to hearing from you

Canterbury J Class Model Yacht

Canterbury J Class Model Yacht website

A Brief History of the Canterbury J Class Model Yacht

Sailing at the Christchurch Model Yacht Club [CMYC] in 1996-1997 there was a small classic J Class model yacht named RANGER with a length of 1.2 metres and this was owned by Dave Heanly. This yacht was J1 which was eventually purchased from Dave and is now on display in the CMYC club rooms at Hagley Park.

A group of CMYC members decided the J Class yacht would be ideal for easy fully rigged transport and sailing in weedy conditions at Lake Victoria.

The hull of number J1 was purchased from Model Boats and the sail plan designed by Hugh Hobden. An approach was made to purchase more hulls. Euan Sargison negotiated and another 9 hulls were purchased and sold very quickly.

The J Class Squadron was formed 2 Sep 1997. Two more hulls appeared making the total at this time twelve.

More hulls were in demand and the place that originally sold the hulls advised that the mould had been lost. After investigating it was found that the original hulls supplied had been taken from a Timaru J Class yacht.

It was decided to make a Canterbury mould with adjustments. The hull was deepened by 16mm and the lead reduced by 16mm and the trim weight put inside the hull. The J Class squadron purchased the new mould with a loan from Peter Vincent and the loan was repaid from hull sales. Number J13 was the first hull

To promote the sailing class three trophies were donated by Peter Vincent.

More Canterbury J Class historical information can be found HERE

The basic philosophy was to have an easily sailed and economically built  RC yacht’ based on a one design principles to provide good resale value, and with racing dependent more on the skipper rather than designer/builder skill.These objects have been attained and the Class has attracted many first time sailors, mostly from the retired ranks who share the common creed, “it sure beats gardening!”

The boat can be transported easily in the average car or station wagon fully rigged. Many boats have features of the original Canterbury J Class.

The “Wednesday Windlers” can muster fleets of 30 plus for their around-the-lake sailing on Lake Victoria. Why not visit the lake on a Wednesday? Members turn out, except in the most atrocious weather, and are pleased to “turn over the controls” to any interested spectator.

377 hulls [December 2022] have been purchased and they are to be found in all areas of New Zealand and as far afield as the USA, Australia, Canada, Germany and the UK. It is a one-design yacht and all hull shells, keels and trim weights are made from moulds officially approved by the Canterbury J Association with an identification number moulded into the hull.

There are rules that, prohibit exotic materials, define a fixed minimum weight, strictly control dimensions in the three sizes of sail rigs.

The yacht can be bought as a kit or in separate pieces and assembled as the budget allows. This also allows members handy at making small components to make many of the parts and keep the price down. All parts are available: hulls white polyester, keels, brass fittings, and computer-generated sails, winches and radio gear. If you cannot find the part you want we will find it or we can make it at reasonable costs.

There is also an active and increasing North Island fleet sailing out of the T auranga Radio Sailing Club  Gilmour Lake  Waihi , [links to external sites] , Palmerston North and Auckland

Yachts by ICON

Yachts sale ICON

RAGNAR is a conversion project from  Icon shipyard. The supply vessel SANABORG built in 2012 at Royal Niestern Sander is being converted into a luxury explorer vessel with accommodation for 12 in 8 cabins, including two Owner's suites.

Project Ragnar is a large-scale conversion project of 62.8-meter icebreaker Sanaborg into a luxury explorer. All the works of two-year project were carried out under the technical control of Arcon Yachts at the Dutch shipyard ICON Yachts, which also made a refit of the famous explorer Legend, as well converted from a support vessel. The initial icebreaker itself was also originally built in Holland at the Royal Niestern Sander shipyard and launched in 2012.

After the refit and modernization, the Ragnar project turned into a 62.8-meter research mega-yacht with an internal volume of 2.450 GT, which is fully prepared for long autonomous trips in any latitude of the world, including the Arctic. Moreover, the unique Ragnar can still be an icebreaker and is certified as Ice Class A1 yacht.

The hull of the brutal vessel is made of steel, the external and internal design is developed by the English bureau RWD (Redman Whiteley Dixon). There are impressive technical features onboard: the PC5 hybrid engine system, which provides a range of up to 6,000 nautical miles and a maximum speed of 14 knots. Due to the draft of only 3.15 m the yacht will have access to the most remote corners of the planet and wild shallow beaches. The inside areas of the yacht will be incredibly spacious, and the interiors will be designed in a classic Victorian style with elements of Medieval warship theme, with finishing of Mahogany and light walnut.

Ragnar comfortably accommodates 12 guests, with 2 master suites, 4 double cabins and 1 twin cabin. The Owner and guests of the “Arctic Explorer” also have all the attributes of a classic mega yacht at their disposal: SPA salon with massage rooms, sauna, two swimming pools, one of them with ice water, snow room, jacuzzi, full-size gym with all the equipment. Comfort, top level service and safety on board will be provided by 17 crew members.

The whole arsenal of additional equipment and toys is provided for long exotic journeys: submarine, Ripsaw EV2 snow all-terrain vehicle, Eurocopter EC145 with a fully certified helipad, two 8 m long tenders, two laser class sailing boats, two 6 m RIB tenders, two jet skis, additional “floating beach” platform and much more.

Inspired by the identity of the famous Norse warrior king, the 68.2-metre charter  yacht Ragnar  was built to take guests out of their comfort zones and into an unchartered world of snowy mountain tops, unforgiving tundra and pitch-black ocean depths that teams with marine life.
