Pirates have all the fun, they sail around firing cannons at each other and even manage to make wooden legs and parrot accessories look cool.

This fantastic radio controlled pirate ship gives you the chance to become The Terror of the Duckpond. Measuring 40 cm from bow to stern, with billowing sails, fancy rigging, Jolly Roger and cannon, this pirate ship will have you shivering your timbers in no time.

Ok, so the cannon doesn't actually fire anything, but the sound and light effects will make even the sturdiest sea dog think he's under attack.

Powered by 4 x AA batteries, with propellers hidden below the waterline you can guide your ship across the water using the radio control unit (4 x AA batteries required). But do bear in mind that with all those sails, steering in windy conditions could be challenging!

Whether your favourite pirates hail from the Caribbean or just from Penzance, you too can set sail in search of buried treasure, booty and rum!
