Tamiya 56204 YAMAHA 40EX Model for Hands-On Sailors

The Tamiya 56204 YAMAHA 40EX is a faithful 1/20 scale model that mirrors the lines of the Yamaha 40EX cruiser. It is aimed at hobbyists who prefer a realistic rig and the chance to fine-tune sail trim and balance on open water.

Dimensions and Build Features

At 600mm long, 194mm beam and 1110mm overall height with an 810mm mast, the model presents an impressive silhouette while remaining transportable. The one-piece ABS hull ensures toughness, and the spin cloth sails together with aluminium mast and boom reproduce real sailing behaviour.

Radio Compatibility and Customisation

This kit does not include a radio. The Tamiya 56204 is set up for a 2-channel, 2-servo system, letting builders select servos with the torque and speed they prefer and choose a transmitter with suitable range and features.

The Tamiya 56204 YAMAHA 40EX appeals to experienced RC sailors who enjoy assembly, tuning and realistic handling; it makes a capable platform for practice and competition in calm to moderate conditions.

Basic modelling tools, a set of small screwdrivers, and pliers are usually sufficient. A dial gauge or jig helps ensure mast and boom alignment during rigging.
Ease the sheets and reduce rig tension in light conditions to let the sails fill easily. Small adjustments to mast rake and shroud tension help balance helm response.
Verify servo operation, check for secure rig fittings, inspect sails for snags, and ensure all hull fittings are watertight before each session.
