MICRO MAGIC
MICRO MAGIC mkII Racing Yacht #. 2014
The racing MICRO MAGIC has been developed to reflect progress in the MICRO MAGIC regatta scene. In its standard form the boat represents a modified version of the original model designed for the ambitious regatta skipper; it is intended to complement the earlier MICRO MAGIC, which has proved to be very popular. The racing MICRO MAGIC includes a carbon fibre rig with a slim 5 mm Ø mast, improved sails and a completely new set of high-quality plastic fittings. A new feature - unprecedented in a kit model - is the variable-position keel (fore-and-aft direction), which enables the operator to adjust the model very quickly to suit varying sailing conditions, and to satisfy the operator’s personal preferences. The revised keel fin and rudder are of slightly reduced area and thinner profiles in order to reduce water resistance. The slightly heavier ballast bulb is also longer, resulting in enhanced directional stability. The boat is designed for an RC system consisting of fairly small, lightweight components, and the internal arrangement has been optimised with such a system in mind. An additional micro-servo can also be fitted to provide jib sheet trim control from the transmitter, so that the sail trim can be fine-tuned while the boat is on the water. The sail adjustment system has been designed for reduced friction, with a double control arm and return pulleys, with the result that a lighter servo can also be employed safely. The shape of the bow and stern have been re-worked slightly to give the boat a more modern appearance, but the basic lines of the original hull have been left unchanged in order to stay within the German class rules.

Micro Magic Racing Carbon Edition
Description
The racing MICRO MAGIC was designed to reflect developments in the MICRO MAGIC racing scene and in its standard form constitutes a version intended for ambitious regatta work.
Vacuum-moulded, CNC-machined hull, deck, hatch cover and keel mast socket.
The keel fin and rudder are injection-moulded in glass-fibre reinforced plastic for outstanding stiffness.
The fore-and-aft position of the keel can be adjusted by up to 5 mm, enabling the operator to fine-tune the boat to suit the prevailing conditions and personal preferences.
The slightly reduced areas and slim profile of the fin and rudder result in reduced drag.
Factory-made, pre-sewn sail suit of highly efficient grey, lightweight, water-repellent, ICAREX PC31 fabric.
Lightweight, rigid rig consisting of CFRP tubing. The boat features a one-piece mast in order to obtain a strong rig without the need for a spreader.
The rig is based on newly developed, high-quality plastic fittings which are very easy to fit.
The boat is designed for a jib trimming servo, so that you can fine-tune the sail trim while the boat is running.
In general terms the whole sail adjustment system is low in friction thanks to the double control arm and dual return pulleys.
The carbon-look ABS material and decal set eliminate the need to paint the model.
The racing MICRO MAGIC requires no sailwinch, and is therefore inexpensive to purchase and fit out.
Set contents: vacuum-moulded ABS hull, deck, cover and two-part keel mast socket, laser-cut wooden internal fittings and boatstand, glass-fibre reinforced plastic rudder and keel fin, cast keel ballast, various injection- moulded plastic parts, carbon fibre tubing for mast and booms, ready-made sail suit in bright orange ICAREX, polyester cord, wood strip, small items, decal sheet, plan, building instructions in German, English and French.
Info
The basis for this boat is the familiar MICRO MAGIC, which now features a more up-to-date appearance.
Particularly striking features are the straight bow, angled stern and angular hatch cover.
In spite of its unusually small size the racing MICRO MAGIC is a full-value regatta model yacht which is controlled using all the usual functions.
The racing MICRO MAGIC is suitable for light to moderate winds
The racing MICRO MAGIC's compact size makes it extremely easy to transport, and the model is the ideal choice for taking on holiday.
Due to the thicker ABS material used, the all-up weight of the new version is around 40 g greater than Order No. 2014.
