Get ready to be amazed by the Edina Model Yacht Club's meticulously crafted model boats. Since 1991, this non-profit has showcased stunning radio-controlled model boats, from 8-inch wonders to 7-foot masterpieces powered by electric, sail, and steam. Kids are invited to “take the helm” and pilot the remote-controlled boats while checking out the display.
Grace is a 1/4 scale scratch built model of the Century Sea Maid. The level of detail is incredible on this 5’ long replica. All hardware is handmade, and every plank is complete with face grain wood plugs that were used to cover the 100’s of fasteners a full-scale boat would use.
Don’t miss these incredible creations and meet the enthusiasts who bring them to life.
