"MARA" is beautiful, stable, agreeable, swift, dependable and smooth. Truly, it is impossible not to fall in love with our Mara once you know her. Mara is a development of two previous double ended ketch designs built by the author, and is the epitome of the scale model sailboat. The double ended, two masted ketch design features a wide beam, with lines that provide superb stability coupled with moderate speed; in most cases faster than powered scale models.

Mara is radio controlled, however, the craft can be made free sailing if desired. our model can be operated on two or three channels; one for steering' the second to haul in or play out the sheet lines so as to arrange the sail angle to obtain the maximum results from the wind, and a third channel, as we used, to start an electric motor to bring the craft to shore in the event that the breeze stops and the model is becalmed in the middle of the pond.
