hi all i have decided to take the sails and rigging off and start from scratch the information that has been provided is fantastic although a bit over my head so i am going to have a steep learning curve i will try and get a sail and rigging plan for the Cambria if its available as this is the first time i have attemted this previosly the only sail boats that i have built was a Victoria but this is a whole new ball game so if any one can tell me a good book to get that will help me understand all the different sails on my model i would appreciate it and i will look up the Ambo face book group i think my estimate for finishing this boat in the spring is now defunct and now going to be next christmas

hi thanks for the advice i had planned to attach some strong fishing line to the boat if anything happens at least i wont leave it on the lake bed also i have decided to make the leeboards operable i havent worked all out yet but either two separate servos or connect through sail lines i have seen one this morning that uses the sail control the chap who showed me is going to do a diagram for me to follow this is going to be a challenge but i will try my best the reason is i want the lee boards operating is i look at some thing like that and think why are they for show there must be a way to do it not to make it sail better but it will look good
