Measures 4'11" bow to stern and 4' top to bottom. Eventually it will float with sails and motor with remote control along with stain and finishing, sails and more. Very time consuming! Current delay is designing the keel and how to bend the sticks and how much weight. Heres a popsicle stick sailboat still in the works. Measures 4’11″ bow to stern and 4′ top to bottom.

I built bridges for the Ga. Sc. Oly. too. Fun competition. Two thoughts for your boat. - Use a fabric sail. Any type fabric will do, but nylon (like sailcloth) will do well. - Popsicle sticks are too bouyant and you need something heavier at the keel. You could duct tape pebbles to the bottom of your keel. The shape of the keel is fine, though. Have fun sailing. Neat website. I built bridges for the Ga. Sc. Oly. too. Fun competition.

Two thoughts for your boat.

Have fun sailing.
