We seen her perform well over 5 knots of wind, right? Thanks for all the guru advice else she may have become history.

Well done sir,

I have seen her sail after the various mods. Not after the recent mods but a week or 2 ago. She sure looks impressive. you are right, one thing about sailing is that a lot of big mods can be done and it is quite fun.

I have made 3 sets of sails for my H1000, every sail has its advantages on various conditions. Now I am also making a heavier ballast to keep the boat more upright at higher winds to harvest more energy.

Seawind is definately a better boat but considering the price difference, H1000 is a good platform to start. So far H1000 seem to be better performer than some other boats in its class.eg ETNZ thru my observations. But than again it may be one mod away to gain the edge over the H1000.

I will try to post some picture of the jig that I have made to make sails.
Keep the mods coming.

Cheers
Kevin

Bulb front protection cap

Usually at places like PP or rocky shore line, our bulb will be knock by rock.
My hurricane kanna very badly so this is wat I came out with.
So, this cap is made of a very hard metal called Cobalt Chrome which is resistive to scratch. Will not rust, it has no steel content. No cheap too.
Each one is casted, trimmed and polished. There are some initial stages of
molding too. Finally, it's epoxy into place. I can custom made this for anyone whom is interested.
