    Looking good.

    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!!

    A great day at the Duck.  Thanks to all involved.

    Nah, I will just look at your wind indicator each time you lap me!!

    How about the addition of a large hot pink wind indicator on each boat with black sails??

    in reply to: Favourite Tools (for RC work) #2355

    The sails look great.

    I highly doubt it!!  “Bad boy” black may well help you blend in to the dark banks at the Duck, so the rest of us will have to help you stay honest.

    Thanks Mike and Col for the superb reports on sailing at the “Duck”and the website upgrade the enables a computer near illiterate to read and even make an occasional post.  Also thank you to all the RC sailors at both the Duck and the Canal for making sailing and racing fun again.

    I wish you all a merry and safe Christmas break and look forward to more good times in the new year.

    in reply to: Boom Vang Bearings for DF65 & DF95 #2239

    The bearings arrived today. Two days from ordering to delivery – not bad in mid December!!

    in reply to: Boom Vang Bearings for DF65 & DF95 #2191

    Thanks Mike.

    Thanks Mike for moving this “how to” from the old site.  Pink Bits is in need of new bearings – the version 6 bearings don’t like salt water any more than the V5

    ones. Gotta remember that the Canal is salty!! Are the lubricants effective in protecting the bearings?

    I gave the bearings a spray of Innox before the sailing yesterday so that the boom would swing in the anticipated light winds.

    Ordered some bearings for my 95 as well.
