Unfortunately, I have not had any experience with sailboats. I am a member of a boat club here locally where a lot of guys run sailboats. weather permitting, we are supposed to meet tomorrow. I'll ask your question to them.

In the meantime, have you found this thread?? Post # 82.

Thanks Diego I think I got it all figured out now. I did not realize this boat was suck a kit I thought it was a bit more of an almost ready to run deal. I should have here sailing tomorrow she is pretty stoked about it so that is a good thing.

Great. You're welcome. So that link helped? or did you figure it out on your own?

[Avanti]

I had already come across that link and a few pics I googled. The biggest thing was just taking a break from it gave me a fresh approach when I went back to work on it. Thanks for the input though it's nice that people on this board will help out even if it's for a blow boat.

Well. I have experience with sail boats.
I have a Victor 1 Meter.
Here a pic. I will try to help you with your issues. Just name them



And a full size shot.( Lol. . i set those boats up just for the shot)

I believe that the sail servo is hooked up to the string or wire and it goes through on the left hand side near the sail crank handles. then back to one of those "pullys" then it splits into two strings and one string goes through that eyelet for the Boom and the other ones goes forward through another "pully" for the Jib.

Here ( not my boat, picture i found ) . . . and replace strong with string *** lol
