    If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have ever done it !Turned out great. The directions were a bit confusing.Thanks again!

    Glad I stumbled onto this video.. I was fighting with the instructions as well.. I fumbled through them with you.. now just need some good weather to test it out 👍

      I have only put it in the water a few times since this video, it is a fair run to get to the nearest suitable water. You need a good depth to clear that keel. It performed fine, bearing in mind I have never tried an RC sailboat before 😊

    The job sale about 31 mins in here was where I got stuck. Thanks!

    34.47 "Struggling now" - exactly the point at which I searched YT for a video to help me with the rigging! Glad to have found yours - let's see how things go from here on in!

      Good luck, in truth the instructions were fine, I just have trouble following instructions. The boat works fine, but I have only put it on the water 3 times. Just don't seem to have had the opportunity so far this year. There is a link to my playlist in the video description, so you can see what I have done with it (not much) 😊👍

      @@GrandadsOtherChannel Thanks! All sorted. Will have to wait a few days until getting it on the water. My son and I are both looking forward to it. Take care.

    Mine just got delivered today - I’m looking forward to watching you “unleash the Dyneema cord” and tie all those “bowsies”! Hopefully I’ll be offending the classic Freesailers soon!

      Good luck, I have only put it in the water 3 times. I just don't seem to get the time and the weather to coincide at the moment. It is also a fair drive to the nearest suitable lake.

      Thanks, Max, just need a nice pool to sail it. It needs a good depth with that keep.

    First thing: clear off the table for a good work space.

    I just fitted the keels on my two boats. I sealed it with silicone. Both keels fell off within 2 hours! I must have missed the hole for the setscrew! Boo Hoo .
    Working with Alzheimers is good therapy? And the eyes going for the fiddly bits! Trying again today. But will line it up using a longthin stick. Yippee . Nil Carborundrum Illegitimus

      Whoa, I assume you didn't lose the keels. If they dropped off in deep water, you would be stuck.

      You got the instructions for nothing being prebuilt.. but the kit now comes with all cords precut etc.. that’s they confusing part.
