15. Sailing

Note
• Do not sail beyond the transmission distance:
approx. 200 m.
• Refer to section "16. Basic sailing theory" on
page 40 for some information about how to
sail.
• Sailboat runtime is approx. 1 hr with new bat-
teries inserted. It is recommended to replace
the batteries after 45 minutes of use.
a) Preparation
• Check the sailboat and all parts are correctly rigged.
• Make sure the:
- Transmitter and receiver batteries have sufficient
charge.
- 2x bungs are inserted correctly.
- Cloth deck patches are applied correctly.
• Assess the sailing conditions:
- Wind direction
- Wind strength
- Potential hazards
- Debris
- Depth of water
b) Carrying the sailboat
To prevent the wind catching the sails and making it dif-
ficult to hold the sailboat:
• Always point the front of the sailboat into the wind.
• Hold by the hull with the mast pointing towards the sky.
c) Switch the transmitter and receiver
ON
1. Transmitter: put the sail control stick in the down posi-
tion then switch the power ON.
2. Receiver: switch the power ON.
The transmitter and receiver status lights should
both be (solid green). If not see section ."13.
Transmitter and receiver binding" on page 37.
3. Check the rudder and sail controls are working cor-
rectly.
d) Launching the sailboat
Note
• Before placing the sailboat into the water, it is
important to determine an effective launching
strategy.
• Refer to section "d) Launching the sailboat" on
page 39 for further information.
Gently place the sailboat into the water:
• The sailboat should be facing the correct direction.
• The sail trim should be set for the "point of sail".
