About this boat

1:10 scale model of a "Round the World" ocean racing Yatch.
I have the Genoa kit fitted and the Blister kit fitted. While sailing in rough weather, a certain amount of water built up in the cockpits, so I fitted an autobailer, to syphon it away without docking.
The other modification is to the main Sail sheeting. instead of the the main sheet coming up through the deck, and along the boom and fixed to the cleat in the cockpit! I ran the main sheet directly into the cockpit, across a pulley and up to the boom. Along the boom and down to a traveller mounted on the cabin roof. Allowing the main Sail to swing out, but stay taught, and then giving twist to the Sail when on a broad reach. See posted pictures. (Motor: Main Sail, Jib Sail, Genoa/Blister) (ESC: Futaba F-14 Marine TX/RX. Twin Stick operating Main Sail winch and Forsail winch. Reversing switch to reverse the Forsail winch when Tacking.) (10/10)
