Kyosho 40462 Seawind Readyset Summary

The Kyosho 40462 Seawind Readyset recreates the poise and sail profile of JF class yachts in a simple to use, ready-built model. It is aimed at enthusiasts who want a faithful scale experience without a lengthy build process.

Exterior Design and Sailing Traits

Featuring a durable one-piece ABS hull and a fresh livery, the Seawind presents well on the water and resists everyday knocks. The design uses a tall aspect ratio keel and a push-pull rudder that combine for accurate helm response and brisk acceleration. Hard anodized aluminium spars provide extra stiffness and the pre-cut sewn sails give consistent shape for improved upwind performance.

Onboard Systems and Practical Upkeep

The included 2.4GHz PERFEX KT-21 radio system automatically negotiates channels to avoid clashes. Waterproof KS501SW sail servo and KS202W rudder servo offer robust, weather-resistant control. The lead-free ballast and detachable fittings simplify packing the model away between sessions.
