Radio-controlled (RC) sailboats are remote-controlled models that mimic the design and function of full-sized sailboats. These models are typically powered by the wind, utilizing sails to harness wind energy for propulsion, similar to their full-sized counterparts. Sailing enthusiasts of all ages enjoy RC sailboats for recreational purposes, competitive racing, or as a hobby.
The International Radio Sailing Association (IRSA) governs various classes of radio-controlled sailboats used in competitive sailing. The classes are defined by specific rules and specifications that outline the design, dimensions, and other characteristics of the boats. Some of the recognized classes under IRSA include: 1. **International One Metre (IOM)** - A very popular class with a length of one meter, recognized for its competitive racing.
