Print your own radio controlled yacht
Want to 3D Print a RacingSparrow? Well now you can.
We offer two sets of STL files and instructions for 760 & 1000mm models.
We have been hard at work designing the original Racing Sparrow to be 3D printable.
It is so easy to print and build and sails really well. We are really happy with how both models have turned out.

More about Racing Sparrow
What is Racing Sparrow and who is Bryn Heveldt?When I was nine years old my father, Ross Heveldt taught me to sail down at Bucklands Beach in Auckland. My wee optimist dinghy was called 'The Racing Sparrow', the nickname my uncle Bruce Curry gave to me when I was a small boy. Apparently I had an abundance of energy.
I studied at Whanganui School of Design and have been a designer / developer since 1998. I live in New Zealand.
Best wishes and happy sailing, Bryn Heveldt.
