Focus V3 Blue 995mm (39.2") Sailboat - RTR from Bancroft - BNC1047-003
Standing at an impressive overall height of 2046mm (80.5”), the new Bancroft Focus V3 models are ideal 1M Class sailboats capable of operating in stronger breezes and larger bodies of water. In addition to now being available in attractive red and blue color schemes, the jib attachment point of the V3 has been relocated on the head crane, and boom lengths and sail areas adjusted to provide optimum performance in all wind conditions, while keel bulb weight has been altered to further enhance handling.
Quickly and conveniently disassembled, the impressive Focus V3 can be easily transported in most cars. The model arrives carefully packed and semi-assembled, with masting and final rigging left to the buyer prior to being ready to sail. The freshly redesigned boat stand allows the boat to be stored in vertical or 45-degree orientations for easier storage and maintenance. Simply install 4 AA alkaline batteries in the boat, 4 AA alkaline batteries in the transmitter, and the Focus V3 can be ready to enjoy a gentle breeze on a summer evening or the excitement of skippering an America’s Cup yacht.
Delivered Ready to Run (RTR), the Focus V3 can be sailing as soon as final assembly and rigging are complete. The impressive 2.4Ghz stick radio transmitter is ergonomically balanced and delivers interference-free control for maximum confidence.
