Sobre este barco
One of my few new purchases, from Hobbyking, a slight price reduction for the Xmas season!
What a great mistake, enjoyed the build, sailing the beast a very different experience.
Sails like a brick / nail! Even in the lightest breeze it turns turtle, have tried demounting each of the 2 sails, always the same result --- a real piece of cr*p.
Hopefully this year I might get better results, my ideas are either to mount a ballast weight normally used on a 'Footy' at the base of the keel or a small wing at the bottom, or even a combination of the two. I cannot add too much ballast because that would reduce the flotation level where the two outriggers would be waterbourne as well.
My advice AVOID it!!

Now tell me so and so sailed round the world in one.
So what, I saw one fall to pieces in the Medway.
Looking at your model the outrigger hulls look too long. Even if she sailed, I doubt she would tack. Fitting a keel of some sort is probably a good idea, should stop her capsizing. I would have thought she would have had one supplied as part of the kit.
I'm no expert on tris, things like that don't appeal.
