Stormy winter RC Sailing at Wietzepark in 3 to 6 bft wind, end of January 2008
Modellsegeln Hannover http://home.arcor.de/mjc-hannover/

I had to much sail area on my CR-914. Cause of storm damages like a rip in the mainsail and a loose footpoint of the jib boom I could not give enough tension on th rig especially on the main.

With the mainsail in storm size and the ibsail in standard my darling stops surfing downwind with "bow diving".

Saphirs C-Rig fits perfect to this heavy wind conditions.

  • Are those C rigs? Nice sailing!

  • @zkenzo

    Only Graupner Saphir (black/white) has C-Rig.

    Cupracer CR-914 has ibsail in standard size and a (damaged) mainsail in B-size - with the result of bow diving.

    Illbruck has IOM B-rig, which is overloaded in this stormy wind.

  • if the sailes are flapping and fluttering you drag them in to the point where they just stay still, not beyond! Then you will see that the boat picks up speed. And when the wind comes from behind you let the sails out fully and avoid steering in the direction to which the sailes are pointing (if you do so the sailes will flap over violently and the hold of the bar may even break)

  • can u make a video on how to control a sailboat i have a kyosho fairwind and its big i dont know how to controll it if the wind blows wat direction do i put the sails i need help plz

  • And the boom can't smash against your head

  • Looks like a lot of fun!

  • haha that thing turned into a water plow at 3:40 funny part is it happen to me in real life (it was in like a 1 man sailboat for a class XD but still fun =]
