“Downwind Mode” on Your Transmitter….!!??
Did you fancy a try at the inverted curve, “downwind” reaching mode mentioned in the fabulous Ken Read DF95 YouTube video??
I thought it was a very clever idea and was kicking myself for not thinking about it myself in previous months. So on Sunday, I gave int a try for four races.
Amazingly,…. I hated it ….. and have reverted now to a straight line graph so my P2=25. P3=50, P4=75. It’s going to be a matter of personal preference, isn’t it?… But I think I’m too much of the beginner to get my brain engaged on getting the most out of it! I’m pretty sure I saw Craig on video last year saying that he uses a linear curve for both rudder and mainsheet.
Anyway – let us know if you have tried it out and tell us what you think by using the reply facility on this website entry.
Race Officers Report – IOMs Sunday 30th June !!
Sorry for those that had the delays on the M4. It was probably not a good drive home for any of us.
Yesterday’s IOM racing with 9 boats and 9 races in a variable NW’ly wind both in direction and force gave some interesting races. We had 4 different race winners, so Craig did not have it all his way, with Nigel actually achieving more wins, but some poor results lead to a higher score. Phil and myself shared one win a piece. The racing was close most of the time, even if the fleet often got split in two due to being caught on lulls/flat spots.
This concludes the Spring Series for all Classes. I will send the Series results later.
