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

 

[Pete]

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

[Pete]

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.

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

[Pete]

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.

Another ripper day at the Duck. Thanks guys.
