From the Manufacturer
Get ready to ride the wind with this great looking radio controlled sailboat. Ready to run with 2 AAA and 3AA batteries so you can play with it right out of the box.

Fun, but not a real sailboat4
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.

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 boat5
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.
