if l am over taken by a boat on the run and they overtake to windward can l luff them up through 90 degrees? I thought l could but was told today l couldn’t. Doesnt make sense as they are windward boat and l called them whilst luffing

If you go to the AGM John Tushingham will be doing a talk on sail setting on a Dragon Force 65. If about fantastic opportunity to learn some tips:)

Just recieved my VAPEX order. Super pleased. Paul went out of his way for me putting XT30 connectors on something they don’t normally do and shipped it with next day delivery. customer service is excellent and packaging super professional. very happy.

Ok so if on diagram 2 (windward spreader) the way l see it is blue on starboard and so is green but just to clarify if green is on another part of the course blue despite being leeward cant interfere with Green? If Green where on port would this change? Sorry if l find it difficult to understand just trying to get a picture in my head l can go forward with simply. Your help is much appreciated

P.S. blue is beating to windward mark in second example

Another expample. If green goes around windward mark to port and continues to the spreader can blue interfere with green course and is hunting a boat going around the course properly. I have been green and want to know my rights in both please

Going back to your dont go hunting comment. If green passes the leeward mark to beat back up (port rounding) and gets outside the zone and blue sails a course to on the run to sail the wrong side of the course (but is windward boat) can this be seen as hunting and is blue to blame?

Not sure on the rules at your lake but these guys might be able to help. https://cambsac.com/ always worth a try as l am sure an instructor might be willing if asked nicely. l hope you get it back up and running soon.

The way l have been told and used is to get a hard surface (l use a cutting mat) the carefully put the sail on the mat with the crease pointing upwards. The use a credit card or something similar to run up the line of the Crease. I repeated this then turn sail over repeat then turn sail over repeat. After this it flattened the crease but l can still see where it was originally indented but it's now flat. Hope that helps. If anyone has a better way please chip in as l would also be interested.

Hi Edward, if you are going to build an IOM l am sure alot of people will agree. Get the plans for an Alternative from Brad Gibson. He designs fantastic boats and you will end up with a boat that will do you proud. His website is bgsailsanddesigns.com or just google bg sails it will come up then go to SHOP and you will find line plans for his Alternative design. You will need fin bulb and rudder a great place to source these is robot yachts as they have great performance. Best wishes with your build Rohan

I believe it's the left range right range (might be wrong only worked with futaba before). You might need to play. If in doubt contact component workshop and they will email you a set of instructions which will guide you exactly

You need a KINGMAX SP01 programmer servo program card. They can be bought cheaply enough. Hopefully that will work for you.

Thank you Terry for your hard work. Much appreciated and will enjoy with a beer

Thank you for the input here. It's much appreciated, good info to improve my sailing and good nuggets for everyone. Cheers Rohan

Hi John, thank you once again for your time on this. I really appreciate your input it is very helpful. Best wishes Rohan
