Recommendation: meh 4.55 / 5 from 11 reviews

I saw this set in the Leicester Square store this week , thought it looked a good set for the price. I enjoyed building it, not a long no build to do. Sails and rudder move which is nice. Great set for price.

Recommendation: no 7.2 / 10 by Milan

Besides the somewhat unfinished feel of the back section, there are no real downsides to this model. I like the looks and color scheme. It also it contains various unique parts. It even features a interesting sail handling mechanism and working steering wheel to operate the rudder. The set comes with printed instructions for the B-model, so it's basically a real 2-in-1 set. For around 30 euros you really can't go wrong with this set. Given the price, this also makes for a perfect gift for a boat lover!

Recommendation: no 3.5 / 5

The boats do not float but the wheels work well, and will create the illusion of smooth sailing and fun Lego adventures.

This is a beautiful model that makes a very welcome change from trucks, cars and plant. It's quick and easy to build so makes the perfect introduction to Technic for newcomers to the system. The price, in the UK at least, seems very fair, too.

If you're already tired of building cars, trucks and helicopters, an eye-catching 42074 Racing Yacht might be a breath of fresh ocean air for you. The set hasn't got anything to surprise us with, but still it makes a rather great basic model for almost unlimited improvements. Other then that there is not much the set can be valued for: no new pieces, no new mechanisms, and even the sails are hard to apply in any other non-marine creation.
