Mini rigger

Mitch,
Mike over at ML Boatworks makes a kit for a really nice 24" rigger. It's called the RSX 240. In my opinion it's one of the nicest looking ones out there.

For a tail sinking self righting rigger you need fairly form fitting tub, with a flood chamber at the rear big enough to sink the tail vertically, and very well designed sponsons.
For it to right itself you need to keep the weight as low in the tub as possible, and have sponsons with most of their buoyancy above the CoG, the further back on the sponsons the bouyancy is, the better the launch angle is once it has past vertical, but also the harder it is to sink the tail to vertical in the first place, so there is a fine balancing act.

Alternatively you can have a tub with a low CoG again, but a much less form fitting rounded top and no buoyancy at all in the sponsons, to self right by rolling sideways like mono.

I have also seen a fairly normal looking full size 4s rigger, with a car headlight washer pump in one sponson, at rest, that sponson sinks a little due to the extra weight in it and switching the pump on gives it enough thrust to lift the other sponson out of the water and roll it over. It is far from ideal as it adds a fair bit of weight, but as far as I know the only way to convert an existing rigger to self righting. Probably couldn't do it with cheap and available scrapyard parts for a rigger much under 30" though.

Paul,
Thanks for the info. Sounds like too much to retro fit an existing boat. I'll keep in mind for a new build down the road. Thanks for the quick response. Sorry to pirate the thread. I had to ask.
Regards,
Bob

Greg, I have you covered. I will contact you when I get back to town from vacation. I’m headed to one of Europe’s largest RC Power Boat events. Go to YouTube and watch the videos, Heilbronn RC Boats. Amazing hardware. Also going to the Hochenhiemring to watch the F-1 cars at the German Grand Prix. Allen
