Description

This sailing vessel has sails that actually work, and its fully capable of sailing into the wind! You might need some background knowledge of sailing to use this, or if your struggling you can ask me in the comments!


Important info

  • You will need some very basic info on how to sail, and if your struggling, like I said, ask in the comments. Also I built a guide in the cabin for points of sail that may help you with sail trim.

  • This boat sails best in 10-25mph (16-40km/h) winds with no gusts

  • To get moving its best to start with the sails further out and pull them in as you get going to gain more speed


Controls

  • Throttle: Trim sails

  • Roll: to steer

  • VTOL: adjust steering (useful because the boat tends to steer into the wind)

  • AG1: Nothing, thought about adding an engine and may do so in the future

  • AG2: Cabin lights

  • AG3: Nav lights
