iceboat / landyacht

[rkremser]

I am looking to build a landyacht but had some questions on the sail and the
rigging. What materials and shape should the sail be? I have seen a
picture of a "wing" sail but I was looking to make a more traditional cloth
sail. With the sail, other than size and shape, how does one attach it to
the mast? The last question that I had is about the sail rigging and
servos. I understand that one servo goes to the steering for the front
wheel but what is the setup for the sail controls? Thanks in advance.

Try the free plan in January 2003 issue of MARINE MODELLING INTERNATIONAL -
the U.K. magazine.
Website is www.traplet.com and U.K. Customer Services is
customerservice@traplet.com or U.S. email address is usa@traplet.com. Makes
a nice and inexpensive project - just waiting for a 40 meg Xtal which seems
to be in short supply
