On IRC today, I found out that EMC2 user "etla" makes RC model sailboats. Here are a couple pictures of the boat I made back in 1985-86 or so.

Its about 24" (600mm) long. I don't recall the displacement, and I'm too lazy to measure the rest of the dimensions. It sailed pretty well, as long as the breeze was fairly light. It's too small and has too little ballast for stronger winds, goes over on its ear pretty easily. It's been retired for many years, and now just sits above the fireplace looking pretty.
