Fine on a small lake in a light breeze but I'd rather have a conventional dinghy tbh - faster and a lot safer - I'm assuming they have some form of built in buoyancy tanks and can be righted after the inevitable capsize but bailing it to get it stable again looks difficult. Is there a video of capsizing and recovering one of these? Having a weighted daggerboard is a concern unless its locked into place because once it turns turtle that will drop out.

Makes you wonder what a great business opportunity this idea represents, doesn't it? I am not misrepresenting the effort and work that goes into a well finished product, but the demand seems to exist if the interest shown in these comments are any indicator. I for one would pay for the plans and building instructions, and make one myself by stitch-and-glue. I loved airmodels all my life, but since 2 years I am into building rc sailboats, mostly footies. Now I'm beginning to deal with fiberglass and epoxy resin, so thinking about building a micro thing like this to sail inside seems doable bloody right!
