You should not forget the weight of the rig which is a little more fwd. however it seems that the RC equipment might be stern heavy. Try to pus the battery as far fwd as possible

2:1 should be enough. Any more is an issue with a small servo. ideally you need to get the job to oppose the mainsail by being on the other side of the arm. This way you reduce the load required

My speed is set to fast. But that just a personal preference.

Here is what it looks like. I have a custom for the gun, and I set it to start. it probably possible to do whatever you want. this settings are for the quick timer. The gear when is top right above the num pad. once you set it up it’s really perfect

I don’t have the pro. my countdown has the the counting every 15seconds, the every five, the last ten every second and the I get a “Start” on 0

1timer - voice timer search for the app above. quick timer is the function you need. You need to play either the setup to get a beep and the interval and speed and voice. but once you get it right it is really perfekt!!!

The app is great. One problem we had either the Bluetooth speaker was that the speaker switched off between the countdown voices and always cut off the beginning of the next voice. probably this is speaker specific. I have not tried it with a different speaker yet. the app is really great though

Thank you guys. the incident was a port starboard case in upper B-rig conditions. Boats were well heeled and the starboard boat hit the other one on the front deck patch. deck patch was a relatively thick transparent vinyl. boat went down on the run within meters. It was retrieved the next day free diving to 6m depth and after drying a couple of days with rice all worked again.

Hi guys, We had a boat sink the other day because it was running vinyl deck patches. The entire fleet will probably change over to Dacron now. Are all Dacron deck patches water proof? Sailsetc state specifically on their website that theirs are leak proof, but are all Dacron ones waterproof anyway? thank you Chris

The following app is perfect for start sequences. It is configurable and in all languages. i can highly recommend it. https://apps.apple.com/app/id1357874791

You could always add a knitted bow bumper which might not be accepted by modern class rules but provides at least some protection. It really needs to be fixed well in place such that it does not get pushed out of the way. You can find them on ebay and model shops. It has a quite nice vintage look which does not ruin entirely the look of a Vintage yacht

https://www.blue-bird-model.com/products/12_15.htm Hi guys, it has been a while since there has been anything new on the market. I have come across these powerful sail winches. On paper the specifications are impressive and they are cheap. I have not been able to find any user experiences on these on the internet. Does anyone know more about them or using one? It is almost too good to be true… 44kg/cm torque and 0.48s per turn!!

Hi Alf, would the owner be interested in selling her? i would recommend a book by curved air press that discusses restoring old pond yachts. It is available on the sails etc website. do you have any photos of the boat to see what she needs?
