Curious that the R/C let boats race in the handicap classes (and get trophies) when they didn't even comply with the entry requirements in the NOR. OSR Category 4 requires lifelines.
So for a product like WR2 which Max R posted a pic of up thread, how is an inspector supposed to measure the core of a line that is fully covered? Guessing is not measuring
I was commenting on what the Beavers actually did. Way beyond what seemed to be the intent of the race but the organizers allowed it and it is their event
Would electric winches be allowed?
A fuel cell is a generator, using methanol to produce electricity. https://www.efoy-comfort.com/how-it-works
Using electrical power to cant the keel is legit for the race seems against the spirit of the event. Using a fuel cell seems a little further down...
Is the Schock 40 going to have to cant their keel with a hand pump? Typically it's an electric pump. Seems like that is electricity being used to make the boat go (adding or removing righting moment)? Same could be said for the figaro2 using an electric pump to add water ballast.
