What a lovely boat. What is the boat on the shelf in the background - that looks like another nice one.

Fantastic model even down to the obligatory table lamps. I am not sure I could manage a model of 63" to say nothing of it taking over a room in my house, if only!!
Beautiful. ๐ Like

Sweet looking cruiser. It takes some doing to make those old Sterling kits look that good. Theyโre not bad kits, especially for their time period, but still, a lot of work. Enjoy her, sheโs a keeper!!

Cashrc,
Those are some great boats, thanks for sharing. I'm literally green with envy. I'd love to drive out and play on the water with you guys, but Google Maps says it's 966 miles and a 15 hour drive. I guess I'll just have to wait for our 18" of ice to melt before I'm on the water. sigh .... Dave B ๐ Like

Great job Graham, looks to be sailing well for a first time out,- shame there was not enough wind to be able to put your foot down ๐๐๐ Another nice vid Phil, (better luck with the next ESC on the 'media boat') Keep them coming.

Hi JB,
I've added a couple of fixed end stops to the traveller as the easiest thing to try. They will help reduce the violent swing of the boom when it tacks. Just need a bit of wind to try it out now.. Graham93 ๐ Like

Hi Graham, you've got it tacking nicely,-any way you can make it adjustable, (pic, - would require another servo) or are you just going to add stops. If not adjustable, you might as well keep it around the center which will give you max inhaul on the wind, and help keep the boom down, but not quite as great running. Unfortunately, one of those necessary performance adjustment problems with models, which can't be fixed without a lot of extra 'string'. A boom vang may help a bit as well,

Nice video Phil ๐ Certainly was a battle in that wind. Watching the slo-motion video I think a few adjustments are needed to reduce the throw of the main sheet traveller.

The rudder servo is mounted on a slide made of two stainless steel rods and its pushed and pulled by a threaded rod connected to another servo.
