A-Class with Genoa, rc sailing (first time)

[@TheBigNasty1984]

Really cool, but can the Genoa be eased for running down wind? If so how?

[@SailorAllan]

smooth as silk ! nice job ! I have a couple of questions..........
1) did that boat have a club jib before ? does the boat seem to be any faster with the overlapping genoa vs. a jib?
2)you have a separate servo for the main--is that a RMG or an arm winch? do they both work off the left stick, or how
do you trigger the RMG for the genoa?
3) how does the genoa look/trim when the sheets are cracked off? say a close reach--will the sail still look ok ?
4) that track/car on the deck is sweet, but do you really adjust it much once you have the genoa set for upwind work?
hope you see this, and can take the time to type some answers.

Hi Allan,
this was a testing with the genua.- it runned with the RMG (on deck).
I changed it to under deck winch: th-cam.com/video/UtlaIHy1sFs/w-d-xo.html
(now the RMG is running main and jib again …)
The boat has a Jib: th-cam.com/video/WHbDxXk1QYw/w-d-xo.html
The boat is faster with Genua (depends on wind … :-) ): th-cam.com/video/eQXWqpY0T5s/w-d-xo.html
Track/car: yes its important:th-cam.com/video/UtlaIHy1sFs/w-d-xo.html (see at the end)
more questions?

[@edoardolivolsi4759]

with only one servo it is only appearance, the clew is always closed even abeam and the sail does not breathe
