22. Troubleshooting
Problem
Sailboat not moving.
Cannot sail in a straight
line.
Water in the hull
23. Care and cleaning
Important:
• Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions as they can cause
damage to the housing and malfunctioning e.g. damage to electronics and discolouration of body.
• If sailed in salt water (not recommended) it is important to use fresh water to rinse away any salt residue
before storing. Salt can corrode and damage metal parts and electronic components.
• Remove any dirt or debris.
• Clean the product with a fibre-free cloth. Lightly moisten if needed.
• Drain any water from inside the sailboat, remove any inserted batteries, and allow to completely air dry before
storing.

Possible cause
Stuck in the "no go zone".
Not in the "no go zone" but "sail trim" is not
correct.
Not enough wind.
Rudder is not in neutral position.
Servo and/or battery compartment tape
(cloth deck patches) not applied correctly.
Bung not inserted.
Suggestion
Steer past the no go zone.
Pull the sails in until they stop flapping.
Wait for the breeze to return then you
can sail back to shore.
See section "c) Adjusting the trim" on
page 43.
Check the seals and bung.
