the work done by George and Ruby Dornis and their (rightfully so) proud
employees (or co-workers, as both George and Ruby are actively working

Click here for Static (out of the water) photos of the Mary J. Ward schooner! Victor Model Products website is a must visit website for everyone interested in model yachting, They've been designing and building radio control model yachts from schooner's like the Mary J. Ward, pool sized racing sailboats, the Soling One Meter, so many more on up to their large Soling 50 class sized Valkyrie. Feel free to email me at
