The Marblehead (M) class is probably the most exciting to sail with its moderate size and light weight combined with high manoevrability and stability. Essentially a box rule with minimal constraints. A modern M will usually be made almost entirely of carbon fibre - hull, foils, spars and fittings.
The class was the first to adopt hi tech construction in the early 90s and development since then has been limited. This permits almost all boats built since then to be compete well in modern fleets.
The class is quite often referred to as the "Formula One" of radio sailing.
BOATSetc is your source for high performance pre-preg carbon RC sail boats. We can provide hulls, kits through to ready to sail boats.
Nioutram
If the famous design of Marc Pomarede succeeds the already successful Tramontane, this boat beats all records at the moment and is on the top of the list internationally and nationally. Based on paper plans, it was our task to develop the complete production process from digitization to mold production. The aim was to make the boat as cheap as possible, but without sacrificing quality. After making numerous prototypes, we are now able to produce boats in reasonable time.

Quark
Quark is the current design of our technology partner SAILSetc. Suitable for use with swing rigs or traditional rigs, QUARK is capable of performing well across the wind speed range. Characteristic of SAILSetc designed boats is their ability to perform for sailors of all skill ranges and in a wide range of conditions. Not only can they give excellent results for some of the best sailors (there were three QUARKs in the top 6 places at the 2014 world championship) but they can also give better results for sailors lower down the finishing results. This is partly due to their reliability imparted by the build quality and partly due to the handling qualities imparted by their fundamental and detail design.
