It was another great day at the ‘Duck. We had enough wind for good sailing and enough variation in the wind to ensure that we had some very close results. The big boats thrived in the conditions.
BA Thank you for the drone footage. This looks to be one of the most unusual vessels on our waterways. Not sure I would want to be driving it to windward across Bass Strait.
A ripper day at the Duck. Thanks all for the hot sailing. Great report and camera work Col – nice multi tasking!
If your name didn’t start with the letter “G” then you were off the pace today. The Gs ruled and at times made it look easy. For some of us at least there is next week………..
It was not an easy day at the Duck – the wind was from most directions. The Pink Bits was certainly slow and difficult to control during the early races. The more simple Tx controls on my old version 5 hull seemed a lot more user friendly. Thanks to Mike and Col I now have way better steerage on the V6 and the A+ rig in much better tune. Thank you guys. This sort of support makes sailing at the Duck pretty special.
Thanks Kermit. Very educational, and to think that I have only used duct tape. Of course my version 5 still leaks!!
Col, great start to sorting out a couple of the issues that have been raised by some of our sailors, including the Pink one.
Are there any reasonably standard sets of rules being used by other similar RC yachting groups that we could look at discussing over coffee after one of our racing sessions at the Duck?
All we need to know is that Pink rules!!
The early BOM forecast suggests that Tuesday will be a hot one so the early start will be appreciated.
Great idea Col. I will be there with the white flyer. Maybe with some tweaks I will be able to keep the red hulls in sight!!
