Hi Duncan, you are right if the wind is not blowing much the jib does not go across. It is a fairly light material and it usually goes over on tacking. I loosen the sail on tacking and tighten up afterwards.
I decided that after a bit of 'introspection' that I start a model, do quite a lot of work and then hit a problem and go onto something else!
I have done this 5 times. I have an Inshore Trader, a cargo boat, a Zwartz Zee, a Bugsier 3, an American Beauty tow boat, a very old (100 years+) pond yacht, a R36 class yacht, a 32 inch yacht all waiting my attention. That may be more than 5!
If when I shuffle off they are still partly made they will probably be discarded. So I am trying not to leave part started model boats behind me.
I have a Wild Duck Sarik wood kit and of course Bruma.
The last 2 as they are unstarted still have a value.
So I decided to finish a build from 10 years back ( another one) called Lilka, before starting Bruma. But Bruma has been in my thoughts!
In between I have built 2 yachts, restored 5 others and for myself a few others, a ferry, a cargo boat a clockwork boat (with RC) and I may have forgotten some as well.
Not counting those that went before.
Confessions over!!!!!
Regards
Roy
