Sailing Hints compiled by Ben Morris

These sailing
hints are a direct result of experience and a desire to improve the speed of
radio sailing yachts around a course and increase the enjoyment of RC
sailors. They attempt to look at ideas
that are not normally covered in other publications. They often arise
because of a question from a fellow sailor such as "How did you accelerate
past me like that?" or simply looking at other yachts and wondering why they
are not up to speed. I will attempt to give explanations that are not
too technical though sometimes this is essential in understanding.
These are my thoughts and may well not agree with your ideas. I would
be only too happy to accept criticism or ideas for new hints and only too
happy to publish them. Please e-mail me on

What I don't
want to do here is delve into the differences between different designs of
yachts and sails but to accept your yacht as a given and to try to get the
best from that.
This is a new
section to the Stirling site and hopefully should grow over time.
Please come back regularly to see any developments.
