Introduction

The Eclipse 1M is the ideal way to experience the pleasure of sailing on a gentle 

summer’s breeze, or the excitement of racing your own America’s Cup racing 

yacht. The large one meter (39”) hull is precision blow-molded from high-strength 

ABS and features durable, reinforced rip-stop nylon sails that arrive pre-printed 

with bright, attractive graphics. Easy to assemble, the Eclipse 1M arrives with 

most of the difficult and time consuming rigging already completed, making final 

assembly quick and convenient. A sealed, water-resistant deck hatch protects 

internal electronic components such as the “drum-style” sail winch servo which 

delivers additional power and smoother, more scale-like functionality than regular 

servos. Perhaps the most impressive feature of this sailboat is the size - 

measuring over 7’ (213cm) tall from the bottom of the ballast bulb to the tip of the 

mast. 

 

The Eclipse 1M is an RTR boat, and arrives with everything required to start 

sailing. In addition to the pre-trimmed and decorated hull, inside you’ll find a 

2.4GHz radio system, rip-stop nylon sails and all the rigging parts necessary to 

easily build the mast. The Eclipse even includes a lightweight boat stand for 

diaplay and maintenance. Best of all, the Eclipse is quickly and easily dismantled

for transportation. All you need to add are 4 AA batteries for the transmitter and  

 

another 4 AA’s to power the radio receiver and your set for your maiden voyage!
