Hello everyone
Things are progressing slowly but surely. But now my shipyard is closed for the last time. Our last camping trip for a few days starts tomorrow and lasts until the end of the week. Visiting friends, seeing beautiful places and suddenly it's Sunday! How time flies! Bb Michel-C. ▲

Hello everyone,
Finally we continue, because we are enjoying the reasonably good weather and have been travelling with the camper again . . I have now finished the sail box and also created the new sail line holder. We are moving forward. This sailboat will also have its own remote control. That's obvious, because if I'm no longer able to tinker because of my age, then whoever wants the boat will get a complete system. Just insert the batteries and you can sail with it. Thinking ahead is always good. Bb, your Michel-C. ▲

My painting partner at the shipyard is getting active again. So I can devote myself to details on the CAD and then laser them. Thank God, things are moving forward . . Crafting greetings, Michel-C. ▲

Hello dear friends,
after almost 18 days of holidays I will only be partially active, as I have to prepare the motorhome for the motor vehicle inspection. Now I have started to adjust the units, step by step. Let's see if my ideas bear fruit! Keep your fingers crossed for me, thank you! Best regards, Michel-C. ▲

Hello!
Now put together for testing. Now the details, rails, guide tubes etc. follow. Then the complete assembly will be carried out with screws and some additional gluing. But first my boatyard is closed for 1 1/2 weeks. We are โon the roadโ at my wife's request! bb Michel-C. ▲

Hello everyone!
I am now one step further and have cut the inner parts with the laser. To get a thickness of 4 mm, I cut everything twice with 2 mm. These are glued together, but I paid attention to the wood grain on the first cut and cut the second cut in the other direction, or 90 degrees. This guarantees that I won't have any bent parts after gluing. Now it's time for gluing . . see you later for assembly Sticky greetings Michel-C. Ps: On the first picture on the A4 already glued parts ▲

Hello everyone,
Tonight I have decided to finally start with the renewal. At first I wanted to give the repair a try, but I had to realize that a completely new version would definitely be better. So full speed ahead and away with the bent and defective ones parts. Now there is a yawning void in the hull again. First of all, I put some rough thoughts down on paper and then prepare them for the laser cutter in the Cad. I'll put my feet up for today and continue tomorrow. . Read you soon, Your Michel-C. ▲

Hi Mike, I missed a few steps.
I was told that you had problems with the string and needed to replace it. Now you want to change the entire internal setup. Why? Anyway, I wish you good work. ▲

Hello everyone,
My little โQueen of the Windsโ is now on the operating table. I've been thinking that the whole interior needs to be removed and rebuilt. This is the best solution for me. ๐๐๐ I have received a number of tips from other modellers on this site which I will now put to good use. A hearty โMerรงi beaucoupโ to all those who have given me tips! Keep your fingers crossed for me! And if anyone wants to contribute to the build, go ahead! I love your ideas! Your Michel-C. Ps: The braided nylon cord is made from recycled material, let's see if this was a good idea. A very small contribution to โGen Zโ. ๐๐๐ ▲

Hi all, hi Ronald!
Now I will remove the whole thing, reinforce it, use the new braided nylon rope and hope that the change will now withstand the mountain sea winds!!! Information for you will follow, but first tidy up the tinkering cellar. We had a damp problem in the house, but after cleaning the soakaway everything is back to normal. Everyone in the house tidied up their cellars and got rid of old, musty things, which is also important. Give me some time until the next message, ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ Your Michel -C. ▲

Hello everyone!
Thanks for your tip, Ronald! *** I have now ordered some braided nylon. As soon as a small time window is free, I will renew all the cables, maybe adjust the guides a bit. Last ride was awesome. Clear mountain lake, good visibility, everything was fine until the wind got stronger and my construction suffered. I learnt from this: strengthen it! We'll see. . . best regards Michel-C. ▲

Hello Sir Admiral Ronald . . .
Can you please tell me which line you use for your sails with the sail servo. I think I have made a mistake here and not used the right type of rope. after a certain time, it warps and becomes longer, which leads to problems and knotting!!! ๐๐๐ Regards, Michel-C. ▲

It seems like a lot of extra work to control your sails on just a pond boat which is not racing. I could see if you were sailing a bigger vessel this type of sail control is better than a servo with a control arm.
My schooner uses a single servo and a control arm for two sails. The jib is preset. My first build, the Wianno Senior, also uses a control arm and hauls in both the jib and main. Also the second built Folkboat uses one control arm. Very simple to setup and use. No tension to keep lines tight. Sembra un sacco di lavoro extra per controllare le tue vele solo su una barca da laghetto che non sta correndo. Potrei vedere se stavi navigando una nave piรน grande questo tipo di controllo della vela รจ meglio di un servo con un braccio di controllo. La mia goletta usa un singolo servo e un braccio di controllo per due vele. Il jib รจ preimpostato. La mia prima build, il Wianno Senior, utilizza anche un braccio di controllo e trasporta sia il jib che il principale. Anche il secondo Folkboat costruito utilizza un braccio di controllo. Molto semplice da configurare e utilizzare. Nessuna tensione per mantenere le linee strette. ▲

Whenever possible use two push rods on the servo control arm to your rudder. Especially in a sailboat as this will put less stress on the servo.
Quando possibile, utilizzare due aste di spinta sul braccio del servocomando del timone. Soprattutto in una barca a vela poichรฉ ciรฒ sottoporrร meno stress al servo. ▲

Hello Doug,
Leider hat es mir bei einem Segeltรถrn mit sehr starkem Wind meine ganze Arbeit im Schiffsinneren zerschlagen. Vermute, dass ich hier einiges sehr verstรคrken muss. Etwa 1 1/2 Std gesegelt bis dann die Windbรถe die Takelage zu sehr beanspruchte. Reparatur ist angesagt . . . Gruss aus der Schweiz Michel-Claude Ps๐as 2te Photo wรคre die richtige Lage For our English friends from all over: ๐๐๐๐ Hello Doug, Unfortunately, on a sailing trip with very strong winds, it smashed all my work inside the ship. I suspect that I will have to reinforce some things here very much. About 1 1/2 hrs sailing until then the gust of wind put too much strain on the rigging. Repair is the order of the day ... Greetings from Switzerland Michel-Claude Ps: The 2nd photo would be the right position ▲

Hello everyone!
I havent forgot you! I'm renovating all the electronics because during the last wind break no one was on site to push my sailboat with another motorboat. So I waited until the "Reine des Vents" thought of sailing back to me. . a beer, a sandwich and a lot of patience. I solve this problem with a water pump. Follow pictures. . . . . Your Mike ▲

Hello Nerys and Doug!
I ask for a little patience, am collecting the data from my boats and my sailing winch solutions with drawings. At the moment I'm on the weekend with my wife. We are allowed to look after our grandchildren for a few days so that our daughter and her husband can relax from the little pirates. Greetings from hobbyists, Mike ๐๐๐ ▲
