Below is John Goodyear with his racingSparrow750's; Yorkshire, England, 2009. The sparrow is designed for entry level modelling but experienced modellers like John take the boats design to the next level, adding their own great ideas and knowledge which is encouraged. The boat on the left has fuller bow sections, designed for heavier winds - very cool.

John quotes very modestly!
" Both sail beautifully and hold a course as if they were sailing on rails, a tribute to your original design skills I'm sure and not my 'tinkering'. I'm now messing about with another one planned to sail on very, very, very light winds and will combine your design with the Northwind 28 stretched to fit our club formula. It will probably sail like a dead slug but fingers crossed "
