These are the dimensions I use - Others may have a different take on the subject.
Rake Dimensions - A rig - 1135mm B rig - 985mm C rig - 840mm D rig - 805mm - Remember alter ONE thing at a time and go test it !

Great video John. Loads ofreally useful nformation. May I add one thing. The easiest way to check your rudder alignment with your fin is to hold the mast at the base at arms length and turn the boat upside down. You get a great line of sight and can spot any missalingment much easier

the two best tips were what signs to look for and what to do when you see them. main sail wrinkling and fluttering of top of jib.

Great video John, be great when this whole COVID thing is over to see some of you guys join us in PE. We've got an enthusiastic bunch here enjoying our DF's a lot. Great little boat. Thanks

I'd love to hear more about Wind Tunnel Testing. Can you explain how this would work? I've pointed fans at my boat on a stand to see how the sails fill. I'm trying to imagine how you would measure the boat's reaction to adjustments under controlled conditions.

Hi John I have watched all your videos and made a awesome stand with your tips😎 Question I heard u say in one of your videos. When down Wind set the jib past 90 degrees? You called it something and how far past 90 please? Brett

That was very helpful John..Thank you! *SUBBED* - Id like to know more about ballast weight on the keel. In Higher wind conditions would a heavier keel help stabilize the boat? What would be even better is if I could find a model that you are able to swing the keel but I cannot find anything RC that allows this. Thanks again mate from Western Australia.

How did you color your sail

Thanks for the beautiful video. Excuse my English. My DF95 stalls in a strong wind during a tack and I can't get it to accelerate. Can you give me some suggestions?

Is the Yellow at the top of the sails Vinyl?

@wsoxman5375 2 жыл бұрын

No Shrouds on this boat. Can you still put and take the boat in the water, by using the mast?

@stevemull2002 Жыл бұрын

Stupid question, !! but can you iron out creases in the Mylar sail, as i bugged mine up at the top, on an RG65, still sails fine, but looks horrible !!
