Conquer the waves with Bancroft, the world’s premier RC Boat brand available exclusively at Motion RC! Bancroft’s line of RC vessels is impressive, specializing in museum-quality RC Warships, Sailing Yachts, Speedboats, and more! Equally at home on your mantle with its included display stand or delivering thrills on ponds or pools, Bancroft vessels are made of high-quality materials including ABS plastic, fiberglass, and high-performance nylon composites.

The new Bancroft Discovery is the perfect combination of portability and performance. At 655mm in length, the model is sized for convenient transportation, yet extremely capable as a competitor in globally recognized 65cm monohull competition regattas, making it an ideal model for competition or simply as a great way to enjoy a beautiful lakeside day complete with a gentle breeze.

The plastic composite hull arrives factory-painted and decorated, while the carbon mast and booms mimic the current competition trends. Strong, tear-resistant sails feature a hi-vis trim scheme to aid in the detection of wind behavior and direction, while the aluminum keel with zinc-alloy ballast delivers the ideal weight balance for precise maneuvering. A metal-geared rudder (steering) servo and drum-style sail winch arrive factory installed and ready for use. Final assembly and rigging are fast and simple, with the addition of 8 AA alkaline batteries (four in the transmitter and four in the receiver) you’ll be on the water in no time!

Display this yacht on your mantle or enjoy it on the water with this functional RTR (Ready to Run) model. Delivered Ready to Run (RTR), the Discovery can be operating shortly after opening the box, using the included 2.4Ghz radio.
