Simple but fast sailing vessel for wind of 10-20 mph.
Made To be no more then 20m long, 20m high and 20m wide. On 32 km/h (20 mph) half-wind she can go 100 km/h on full sail, 120 km/h on half-sail and 130 km/h on storm-sails.

Controls

Throttle: Main sail (loose-tight)
VTOL: Foresail (Left-right)
Roll and trim: Rudder (Left-right)
AG1: Lose upper main sail (for strong wind)
AG2: Lose middle main sail and second foresail (For stronger wind)

Sailing

Best is to start sailing with 10-20mph half-wind and immediately loosen the main sail (Throttle) to 100%.
To get faster tighten your sails until one driver is out of the water. This way you have half of the drag.
With faster winds you can loose your sails so the force on the sail is lowered which makes the vessel more steady.
While sailing fast it's best to use the foresail to steer and not the rudder, Because the rudder gives more drag and the foresail not that much. Loosen to turn to the wind and tighten to turn away from the wind.

Hope you engoy. If not, that's fine too.
