This is my Falmouth Gaff-Rigged Cutter that I built while on a little island in the Carribean back in '08/'09. It is a scratch built designed and built by myself. However it had one major problem - too much weather helm! So its been sitting in the garage gathering dust so it's time for a refit. That way I will have 5 to 6 boats to take to the pond...someday!! 🤗

While correcting the weather helm I will also do the following:
1. Upgrade wiring to include new switch and fuses. 2. New battery type and system. 3. Replace outdated rx with a new technology version. 4. Replace motor esc. 5. Modify sails as required to fit adjusted mast location.

This will give me something to do 😉 while glue and paint is curing on my US2M build that is ongoing 😋.....

Completed the majority of upgrades for this refit. All new wiring, fuses, switches, new RX, new battery and setup, etc.

Rigging just about ready for a sea trial. I will use the existing sail setup just moved forward on the boat. Once it has sailed again I will determine if any new sail designs are necessary.

Here in California it's still too soon for me to venture out to the pond 😂, so I will wait a few more weeks and see how it goes.
