My new Vintage Marblehead Sun Wind HF rc sailboat had its maiden sail this afternoon!
Very light winds, and I'll need a lot more time to do some tuning, but it didn't sink and it came back to shore, so it all went well!
However, it was VERY obvious that the rig was too far forward. So now the entire thing will need to be moved aft about 2". The pics in this post are of the original placement of the rig, and you can see that it's too far forward. Will update a new post when it has been moved back. Now, how to cover the holes... ugh!
There were a few asking for better pics of the spars...
Will hopefully be able to take her out again this weekend for some proper wind, but the forecast isn't looking good right now. Tough time of year for sailing.
Aloha!
