Rigging and Painting

I've been moving lately and pretty bad at posting updates, but over the past few weeks I got the boat painted (don't judge me I used rattle cans) with a cool looking green and white striped patterns. I also got all of the rigging for the sails done and the servos set up to control them.

The Maiden Voyage

After about four months of building, I finally had my maiden voyage! It was a very gusty day which was not ideal, my boat ended up heeling over more than I would like and getting just a little water in it, but nothing major. I'll be coating the inside of the hatches with a light layer of petroleum jelly out of an abundance of caution, but I don't think it's really necessary. Overall, I'm very happy with my kit from Tippecanoe and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a kit like this!

More Videos

I got to go sailing again and managed to get a couple more videos. Turns out it's really hard to record and operate RC controls at the same time, so my sailing isn't the best. I'm very impressed with how maneuverable the T37 is, and how fantastic it is at close hauled sailing.

I only had about 4mph winds today, I can't wait to see how this little boat does with 10+mph!
