Hi Nerys
You need to install Media Player from the Microsoft Store. It eventually worked for me about an hour after I installed. Free initially but I suspect they want paying after a month. If so it goes. Be careful when installing as it may try and install all kinds of other unwanted software in the process.

When the winds before the rain, soon you may make sail again, but when the rain's before the wind, tops'l sheets and halyards mind

I will try 2 sailboat videos. Neyrs note the quick response of the rudder even in a light breeze.

Thanks Neyrs, yes, that rig does this sailboat just fine even in a light breeze like we had today.

Lots of short vide clips taken, but where we are staying has very poor Internet. I will post them from home.

Here is just one sight we saw today on our drive.

Pleased to see you are getting the Dragon afloat. She looks as if she is sailing well. That Dragonforce65 rig looks as if it was made for her.

While visiting friends here at the lake I brought the Dragen sailboat after setting the mast with a rake and restructuring the rudder control. Far better rudder control, very sensitive now.

Also brought the tugboat Miss Katherine, replica of the tugboat seen in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia.
