MinuteMan

The Soling Class is the largest class affiliated with the American Model Yachting Association (AMYA). It is a one-design class and the kit and Ready-To-Sail (RTS) boats are manufactured by approved manufacturers. 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. The kit comes with wood masts and booms. Only flat single-paneled sails are approved by the Soling Class.  The minimum weight requirement is 10 pounds.
