October 2012: Peter Henderson (UK) sends us this link to information about the "1299" model Footy: http://www.beam.to/bmyc. Click on "Footy Plans" to see a comprehensive PDF including detailed assembly instructions and purchasing info for their pre-molded hull. Well worth a look, even if you don't plan to build this particular boat.

As of August 2012 Andrew Cook has updated the GoSpectre.com website for his "Footy 507". It features a molded hull with built in servo mountings, carbon fiber rig, kevlar/carbon fibre matrix sails, servo arms and waterproof switch. Our Gallery has some older pictures here.

Flavio Faloci has two of his designs available at the WoodenBoat store (search for 'Brando' and 'Presto'). Presto is available in kit, plan, or book form!

Mike Mayhew in the UK has started making vacu-formed components for Footy Chinese Junks. He has drawings and instructions made up and can also supply electronic components. Email Mike at waverley.models@virgin.net for details. Click the photo at the right to see more in the Photos section.

Victor Models is offering their V-12 A Footy kit for $229. The boat looks nice and the kit sounds like it's quite complete.

Dennis Desprois is offering fiberglass hulls, decks and even completed boats at his RC Boats & Walrus Sails website.

McAllister Models & Design (formerly ScaleSailing) offers a new Footy kit called the Banshee. Banshee uses the foam core system as made popular on Graham's earlier kits. Banshee is available as a hull kit and a separate sail/rig kit. Their new web address is iwww.mcallistermodels.com.

Organizations

Here are the major organizations governing model yachting. These usually serve as the rule-making body for their country and designate standard classes. The Footy is not yet recognized as a class by some of these organizations YET!
