EMMA
This RC sailing Model "Irene" is a semi-scale portrayal of a small trading schooner from the early 20th century.
Fantasy Boats:
My boat designs are “Fantasy Boats”. I want them to LOOK like REAL boats, GOOD boats, SIMPLE boats, the way boats looked years ago, “Vintage” some might say. They portray boats that might have been, or might one day come to be. I also want models that sail in a realistic manner. No “submarining” on a downwind run, or decks awash and booms dragging in the water while on a beam reach in fair weather. No failures to come about, or unwanted rounding up, out of control, in a moderate breeze. These designs stray from being truly “scale” because they include distortions and compromises which are necessary for the model to sail well. The physical laws of mechanical similitude, the “square-cube thing”, come into play.
And that folks, is why my boat designs are the way they are….Cheers, Gary

OPTION 1: - PDF PLANS SENT VIA EMAIL -
PDF plans purchased from this website site are delivered via email within 24 hrs or less.
Email delivery is via Dropbox app in the form of PDF files which you can view on your computer. (You don't need to have Dropbox to receive plans). Load the PDF onto a memory stick and take it to a printshop which has a roll fed printer capable of printing 36” (90 cm) wide. Shops which print architectural plans can usually do the job. Ask that the pages be printed “100% - actual size”. Pages with full size patterns or drawings have dimension check lines which can be measured to assure that the printing has been done correctly.
Schooner Irene
Annie is a semi-scale portrayal of a modern cruising “cargo” schooner, designed for RC sailing.
We are pleased that respected model yacht sailmaker Rod Carr can provide finished sails made to order for:
"Annie", “Irene” and “Emma”.
Contact Rod through his Website: carrsails.com
SAILS FOR ALL OF THE BOATS
Annie is a Fast Schooner with traditional eye pleasing appearance, good manners, and easy build.
We made her longer, leaner, and lighter than my earlier Schooner "Irene” design. More “modern” perhaps, without bowsprit or bumkin, and “racier”, minimizing scale like details, giving her a taller rig with lighter spars, and boom vangs.
Annie’s a beauty, She handles like a dream.
How fast is Annie? The fastest boat at the pond?
Honestly, it depends on who shows up at the pond that day. She is, after all, a cargo schooner. Annie is a bit faster than “Irene”, a little bit, but only a little!
If you are wanting to build a schooner, it could be tough to choose between the sleek “Annie” or schooner “Irene” with her traditional character. Both boats look great, and are a delight to sail.

A traditionally inspired R.C. sailboat for Bear, This stoutly built sailing vessel is stiff enough to hold up to a bear size gale, enabling her to venture far from the protected waters of the local pond, and out into the bay, or even ocean, for long range sailing in open water. Designed by Gary Webb, the renowned full size ocean cruising boat builder, this vessel is worthy of the Bearospace name. Performance is as always, by design. A lot more engineering, calculations, and experience have gone into "IRENE" than most other R.C. Sailboats! Built from inexpensive materials such as doorskin plwood, and epoxy, all but a few parts are available at the local hardware store. This keeps costs at a minimum, and build time in days or weeks, not months or years like some boat models.
An optional sail plan with a gaff main sail is included with the “Irene” plan set.
Also included are patterns for a skiff and a dory, either of which might serve as a dinghy for “Irene”.
