Hello - very impressed. I would like to do the same on a trimaran but am struggling to find the right RC transmitter and to work out how to run two winches. my email is iholtkss@gmail.com - can you send me some info? Many thanks. Best rgds Ian
grafwiloff I'm also very impressed. I sail both an IOM and an A Class. The IOM build is on TH-cam but the A Class built by another member of my club is my preferred yacht. I'm impressed and would like to try it on an A class that I'm just about to start building myself. Would love to have some drawings, photos and information. Also any comments from you on how effective the Genoa is. My email is rpbrady@tpg.com.au. Thanks
Wow that is AMAZING. What a smart solution
This is not a real genoa, it can work upwind but abeam and downwind the clew cannot be opened, it takes two engines.
What about downwind? Or reaches? That's why I use two servos, one for in and out and one for port and starboard.

How is the sheeting run? I'm trying to do the same idea for my genoa. But I can't figure how you have done it
Need your mail. I can send you fotos and a drawing and more information.

How does this system do downwind? I imagine the genoa is not going to be able to get out very far...
See my new videos. There you can see it.... 👍🏻⛵️
what is the sails material?
Genoa is :www.drachenwiki.de/index.php/Schikarex
Main is Dacron (in the video you see the old main …)
Gr Matthias
