Drago RC-Sailboat 1:6

Drago Sailing Yacht RC Kit 1:6

Modern, sporty, true-to-scale – the DRAGO is a typical 21st-century daysailer. Its full-size counterpart can be found on many lakes and coasts – compact, trailerable, and with a distinctly sporty character.

About the Model

Developed by Uwe Kreckel, well-known author and model sailor, the Drago combines modern design with well-balanced sailing characteristics. A detailed building manual makes assembly straightforward, even for advanced beginners.

His idea of creating a modern daysailer with an extendable bowsprit and twin rudders, while ensuring both sporty and well-balanced sailing performance, inspired us greatly. Together with Uwe Kreckel, we are proud to present this model as a modern kit with many features and details. The movable skipper figure Luca adds the finishing touch, giving the Drago a lively and authentic appearance and adding another dimension to model sailing.

The DRAGO features the large open cockpit typical of this boat category, a twin rudder system, a wave-piercing bow with extendable bowsprit, and a hull shape that transitions from a round bilge at the bow to a hard chine at the stern. This kit is designed as a complete set, including the full rig with carbon mast, boom, pre-cut sails, and all necessary rigging parts. Since the model does not have a self-tacking jib, at least two sail winches are required for RC operation to control jib and mainsail independently.

A high-quality fiberglass hull and laser-cut plywood parts form the basis of this kit, making it comparatively quick and easy to build. 3D-printed fittings and the use of color-coded rigging lines in the open cockpit enhance the realistic appearance.

The model’s namesake, a stylized dragon, is supplied as a self-adhesive decal for the hull sides, giving the DRAGO a striking and unmistakable look.

A comprehensive building manual ensures that even advanced beginners can assemble the model with confidence.
