Default RE: AC class boats!

Hello 1967250sI belong to the Blue Crab Model Yacht Club, Germantown, MD but have not being sailing with them this year. I have only gotten out once at the Montgomery Village lake this year. My boats are the AC Class #13 , C914, J boat Whirlwind (work in progress), and my 57” type unknown. I am rebuilding the AC replacing the servos and reconfiguring the deck. Bought the boat a couple of years ago and I understand that it was built by Wick. It came with two sets of sails. The J boat Whirlwind I am building into a gaff rig modeled after the 1905 Doris by Herreshoff. The 57” I got from EBay years ago. I have not been able to find any like her. She was made in the mid 80s. The closest boat I have found with the same dimensions is a Challenger A3. Note I added my Armed Forces Stars and Stripes flag I came with after 9-11. Hope you like it.
