Better RC yachts available for the price.

Very outdated hull design, silly-looking "scale" details, cheap hardware, slow performance. DragonFlight 95 also available at Amazon will sail circles around this turkey, plus the DF95 is a rapidly growing racing class around the world.
The boat looks great. That's about it

The boat looks great. That's about it. I had to replace both cheap servos and replace with metal gear type. I also dumped the sail arm and put in a Drum type that allows the sails to fully open.
The boat is not water tight. I have to deal the hatches with electrical rape.
Joysway makes a better product and cheaper.

A good beginner boat.

not a bad boat for the money. I bougth this boat about 12 years ago and before sailing sealed both hatches with vaseline. The boat has sail well. The rudder is a little small and compromises control some what. A lot of fun.
RTS = "Ready to Sink" -- fix the hatch sealing before taking it out!

The Fortune 612 is a nice looking boat and assembly is pretty straight forward. Everything was fitting well and it did not look like a quality boat. I read some warning online that the sealing of the hatch cover is something that should be improved. I assumed that was only necessary when you have significant wind or waves -- unfortunately reality proved that this is absolutely necessary before the first outing.
I sailed it this morning in light wind (3-4 mph, some light ripples on the water). First half hour was spend on trimming the boat (boat in and out of the water several times, with some checks for water intrusion and rudder adjustments). After about 45 minutes I gybed and luved into the wind. I closed the sheets a little fast and the boat leaned over about 60 degrees and stuck the bow into a one of the one inch waves. I let go the sheets immediately but the boat did not recover. The water flowing along the deck was enough to sink the boat on an even keel. I even went for a swim to recover the model but had no chance due to the poor visibility.
So overall, it is probably a good boat but I would definitely not rate it "ready to sail". You need to improve the hatch sealing if you float it anywhere outside your bathtub even in benign conditions...
Would I buy it again? No, the idea was to buy a quality boat that I don't need to fix before putting it in the water. I think I try a much cheaper Chinese boat knowing I need to fix it before taking it out for a sail.
