Key Features:
Floating Model: This is a notable feature, as the set is specifically designed to float on water, allowing for real-world play in a bathtub or pool.

Two sails that can be angled for racing.
Two dagger boards that can be raised and lowered to maximize stability.
A working rudder for steering.
Dimensions: The built model is a substantial size, measuring over 12 inches (32 cm) long, 8 inches (22 cm) wide, and 17 inches (44 cm) high (from the bottom of the rudder to the top of the mast).
No Batteries Required: The model is powered by imagination, as indicated by the description.
