Controls: VTOL. Sails, Roll. Rudder. This monohull in 30mph winds and when oriented ~122 degrees relative to the wind with sails (VTOL) up around 10% - 5% can reach a top speed of 63mph and the boat will lean lot but it is normal. It can also tack upwind with sails deployed 10% - 5% and go faster than the wind while upwind, the ideal wind speed for this boat is under 35mph, anywhere above will be less controllable. Id recommend 30mph put on fast forward mode, its just abit more fun. For monohull boats ive seen mostly ones using gyroscopes and even then if they dont, they arent as controllable and cant go faster than the wind. For this build I used a deadweight at the bottom so it would be more realistic and cooler because the boat will lean like a real sailboat. Getting the hang of the controls are abit tricky but fun. So hope you enjoy!
