Graupner,WP SUNSEEKER YACHT MANHATTAN7,2099

WP SUNSEEKER YACHT MANHATTAN7 Graupner 2099 Sunseeker is a renowned designer and manufacturer of high-performance racing boats. The company has exploited its experience to build some of the world´s largest and most luxurious yachts. Our model of the MANHATTAN 74 is an accurate miniature to a scale of around 1 : 20, based on original Sunseeker drawings. It is intended for the demanding and experienced marine modeller. In contrast to the full-size vessel the model is powered by 2 Jet propulsion units which provide excellent turning characteristics plus a reverse capability without reversing the motors. At around half motor speed the reversing mechanism can be deployed to bring the boat to a halt, at which point it can be turned on the spot using the rudder. If the bow thruster is switched on the boat can even traverse (move bodily sideways). The motors are controlled using two separate speed controllers.

Quick-build plan including RC installation and building instructions in German, English and French, GRP hull and deck, machined openings for the Jet propulsion units. GRP superstructure, vacuum-moulded bar mast, ship´s boat, flying bridge, cockpit, seats, tables and other small items, printed and die-cut wooden parts, tubing, wire and rod, decal sheet and fittings.
