About SOLING 1 METER

The Soling Class is the largest class affiliated with the American Model Yachting Association (AMYA). It is a one-design class. The One Meter was designed to be a low-cost, kit-based one-designed class primarily targeted at the beginning Radio-Controlled (R/C) sailor. It is often the local class that beginning sailors start with and yet it is challenging enough that most advanced racers still race their Soling. The hull, deck, keel, and rudder are made from vacuum formed polystyrene plastic. Only flat single-paneled sails are approved by the Soling Class. Only two channels are used to control the boat. One channel for both sails and the other channel for the rudder. Transmitter may have additional channels but they are not allow to be used in sanctioned races.

84001 - Soling 1 Meter Sailboat Kit

The Soling 1 Meter kit is a radio-controlled version of the famous Soling racing yacht. The American Model Yachting Association has designated this model kit as a "One Design Class" radio controlled racing sailboat. It is presently one of the most popular classes in www.amya.org and has the largest number of registered models within the AMYA racing class system. Control is accomplished using a simple, two-channel radio transmitting on ground frequencies of 27 or 75 MHz. The two control functions control the rudder and set of sails. Stability has been designed into this boat so that even the beginner can enjoy the thrill of R/C sailing from the start. This model fits inside most compact station wagons fully rigged. If required, the mast can be easily removed for transportation, and quickly re-installed at lakeside with no re-adjustments necessary. The keel and rudder are also removable for storage. Mast rake, sail tension and shape are fully adjustable for maximum performance in any wind condition. No special tools are required for assembly. Length: 39.30" Length w/Bowsprit: Height: 64.5" Display Height: Sail Area: 600 sq. in. Beam: 9.25" Keel Depth: 8.5" Weight: 10lbs Display Weight:

Entering The World Of Radio-Controlled Sailboat Racing

Advertisement

A weekend boater gets hung out to dry when she joins the enthusiastic fray of Radio Control Sailboat Racing.

The Soling 1M is among 32 classes of remote-controlled sailboats governed by the American Model Yacht ­Association.

I don't know why I'm here. As I stand bundled up on the banks of the Genesee River among my Rochester Yacht Club pals, fingers frozen from snow and sleet, I am suddenly struck by the unfairness of it all. As competitors in the " Soling Series" regattas , we all start with a 1-meter remote-controlled sailboat, a controller, water, and wind. That's where the equality ends.

Most of my Soling buddies are serious sailors, and although I spent earlier years sailing on Lake Michigan, I haven't been at the helm of a sailboat for any length of time in the last 30 years. These sailors live to push both full-sized and meter-long hulls to their utmost. A few of the other club members spend their time on thoroughbred powerboats, zipping past me on Lake Ontario for a day-jaunt to Canada and back, treating it like just another rum run. Both groups are accustomed to speed, whether it be from wind or by means of fossil fuel. Wherever they go, their hair blows behind them in the breeze. I am a tugboat captain. At a top speed that seldom exceeds 6 knots, my hair does not "blow in the breeze.'' It stays perfectly straight. I don't "zip" anywhere.

I get chided, advised, and admonished pertaining to my handling of No. 70, a.k.a. Scout, my Soling craft. I swear I hear chuckles whenever my maneuvers don't match the task my vessel is supposed to perform. Cries of "Starboard, Angie!" ring in my ears as I desperately attempt to keep out of the way whenever I'm actually near other boats. I feel the smirks as I futilely try to keep No. 70 on a straight course when the wind picks up over 15 knots. I try to ignore the sidelong glances when I pull her out to tweak my stays and vang, as they all know I'm just pretending to know how to tune it. Each week I say a prayer to the Soling gods that my boat doesn't have to be fished out of the water by the Crash Boat (our series' version of the Coast Guard) on account of low battery or, God forbid, some type of damage. Each time I finish a race, I wonder if I'll ever claim a win for coming in first, or at least, not last. Scout did notch a first-place win once but, alas, I was not at the helm. Due to an embarrassing low-blood-sugar moment, I felt faint and relinquished my controller to friend Doug, a more capable RC sailor who showed me how to tune and sail Scout. Doug ensured the win, gallantly proving it's me ... not the vessel.

Despite being out of her depth in the world of RC sail racing, the author came away a convert who embraced the camaraderie among competitors.

Nonetheless, for whatever reasons, I have been accepted into this group. It's occurred to me more than once this might be because 1. I am no threat to their quest for a trophy, 2. for political reasons, they hoped a woman would compete, or 3. every sport needs a mascot. Whichever it is, I'm here. Every Sunday. Coming in last. And today, after our boats are stored back in our vehicles, after we make our way to the RYC Burgee Bar to regale the tales of the day's shenanigans, and I take my first sip of Mount Gay and Coke, it hits me. It's the camaraderie that exists with all of us — winners, runners-up, and losers alike. I am included in the bantering and feel a kinship that comes with sharing a common love of a sport that requires thumb reflexes, patience and, at times, considerable layers of warm clothing. We meet, we race, we celebrate. This is why we come. Now I know why I am here.

Soling 50 (RC Model)

Soling 50 (RC Model) is a 4 ′ 2 ″ / 1.3 m monohull sailboat designed by John & Laurie Converse/J. Lange and built by Vortex Model Engineering (USA) starting in 1970.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

The SOLING 50 is sanctioned by the national American Model Yacht Association and has active fleets racing in California, Florida, Michigan and Texas.
