Not a land yacht that’s like huge or a real one, but a science project one for a seventh or eighth grader for a science festival? About 3 feet. Also, there will be a big fan blowing so it will move. Please help :[

Type in landsailing on you search engine. There are several commercial vendors, there is a Yahoo group too. I made one with a rigid wing instead of a sail. Goes real fast.
Boat builders often model before throwing down frames.
You can use clay and kiln fire. Carving and sanding model
hull is sometimes done. Buying balsa wood, craft glue, and
boxknife is best if you have templates to cut out model parts.
The easy solution is to buy a kit. Marine retail firms may give you an On-line reference. Obviously, the Naval Architect is too expensive, and other boat builders want to earn a living.
Have you tried,?
