    Great video John. Loads ofreally useful nformation. May I add one thing. The easiest way to check your rudder alignment with your fin is to hold the mast
    at the base at arms length and turn the boat upside down. You get a great line of sight and can spot any missalingment much easier

    the two best tips were what signs to look for and what to do when you see them. main sail wrinkling and fluttering of top of jib.

    Question
    I heard u say in one of your videos.
    When down Wind set the jib past 90 degrees?

    That was very helpful John..Thank you! *SUBBED* - Id like to know more about ballast weight on the keel. In Higher wind conditions would a heavier keel help stabilize the boat? What would be even better is if I could find a model that you are able to swing the keel but I cannot find anything RC that allows this. Thanks again mate from Western Australia.

    I'd love to hear more about Wind Tunnel Testing. Can you explain how this would work? I've pointed fans at my boat on a stand to see how the sails fill. I'm trying to imagine how you would measure the boat's reaction to adjustments under controlled conditions.

    Thanks for the beautiful video. Excuse my English. My DF95 stalls in a strong wind during a tack and I can't get it to accelerate. Can you give me some suggestions?

    No Shrouds on this boat. Can you still put and take the boat in the water, by using the mast?

    Stupid question, !! but can you iron out creases in the Mylar sail, as i bugged mine up at the top, on an RG65, still sails fine, but looks horrible !!
