@antelopec You can also drill several small holes up & down the length of the arm to change the attach points. Doing this will eliminate the use of a bowser, for the most part. That's how i've got mine set up.

@antelopec Total length of the arm is 10.25in.--Distance from center point to jib attachment is 3.25in.--distance to main attach point is 5.50in. I use a double purchase system w/double miniature blocks(pulleys). You'll probably have to play w/ the length of your sheets to get the correct inhaul/outhaul. You may also want to add a bowser on each side to fine tune it.

I probably would stil be using the serve, but the brushes are starting to go---still have it, however. Not sure if I can find parts for it. I'm currently using a Hitec HS-815 BB which works quite well, even in heavy breezes.

I have one of these--a short kit--from the 70's. Very light wt. for its size making it quite good in light breezes. Mine had an army surplus escapement servo, which was removed after a while in favor of the lighter & more reliable system--new dacron sails,as well.

Outstanding! It's so elegant. After all these years and it still brings the same enjoyment. Can't say that for much else.
I definitely want to get into this. I don't like the flashy new boats. I want one with simple, elegant, classic lines.

What is the total length of the extension arm on your 815BB in both directions from the center of the servo out put? My servo arm total length is almost the length of the beam in the center of the boat. Thanks

Sorry,-- nylon sails.

Mine has the old clock works servo(12V), probably the same as yours originally, and the sails are original. I had to use limit switches in both in and out directions to stop the motor. Fortunately the shaft slipped if the limit switch failed. . Maybe I'll update the sail servo---one of these days.

It was a comedy when it hit a sand bar and I had to wade out to free it .
