VOYAGER 280 SAILBOATS FAQ’S Q: Is this boat powered by an electric motor? No, the Voyager 280 is an unmotorized sailboat, powered only by wind. The Voyager 280 includes a battery-powered two-channel radio-controlled transmitter that controls the rudder and sails. You use the rudder to turn the boat. You use the sail control to move the sail angle in and out to take advantage of the wind based on wind direction and speed. Q: Is this driven by a motor? No, there is no motor. The Voyager 280 is powered by wind in the sails and controlled by RC which manipulates the sails and the rudder. Q: How tall is this boat? The Voyager 280 is 17.5 inches (445mm) tall, from the bottom of keel to top of the mast. The Voyager rises 14 inches above the water surface. Q: How wide is this boat? The Voyager 280 is 3.3-inches (85mm) wide. Q: How fast does the Voyager go? This all depends on the winds. But we don’t recommend using in a gusty breeze or a heavy winds above 15 mph. Q: Can this boat be used in saltwater? Should be okay, except it is not designed for use in any significant waves or winds. Q: Is the Voyager 280 radio controlled? Yes, the Voyager 280 is controlled by two servos: one for the rudder and the other for the sail angle to catch the wind. Q: What is required? Four AA batteries for the transmitter and you will need light winds or a slight breeze. Q: Is the Voyager 280 fully assembled? Yes, the Voyager 280 is RTR (Ready To Run). The only thing you need to do is install four AA alkaline batteries in the transmitter and charge the included LiPo battery located in the boat. That LiPo battery powers the radio control receiver and the servos located inside the boat. Q: How is the LiPo battery charged? This is done by connecting the battery to a port in the back of the transmitter. Typically takes 15 minutes to charge. Q: What is the frequency used? Is a license required? 2.4Ghz. No license is required. Q: How do I open the hatch to get inside the boat? Find the β€œtable” on the deck and turn that 90 degrees to release the latch holding the hatch down to the deck of the boat.
