$100 Moth EP8: Building an Epic Sail Control System!

In this episode I continue rigging my $100 Foiling Moth Sailboat. I put together the hydrofoil control system, and explain how the flight control system works and how all the Dyneema control lines work together to keep the boat under control. I then play around with splicing up my own Dyneema standing rigging, cut a hole in my carbon fibre deck so that there’s enough room for the vang! I also make a super sleek shock cord system to take up the control lines inside the aerodynamic wings. Of course im trying to do all this around watching the America’s Cup! #sailing #sailingboat #sanding #boat #boatrestoration #yacht #yachtproject #storm #windy #disaster #foiling #hydrofoil #budget #marketplace #yacht #yachtracing #dinghy #dinghysailing #carbon #carbonfibre #carbonfiber #rigging #dyneema #foiling #hydrofoil #pulley #pulleysystem #sailboatrigging #SailingAdventure #Sailor #SailingCommunity #SailboatLife #SailingVlog #BoatUpgrade #DIYBoat #BoatRenovation #BoatMaintenance #SailingUpgrades #SailboatRestoration #moth #skiff #dinghy #dinghysailing #PerformanceSailboat #SailingTechnology #SailingGear #SailboatPerformance #MarineEngineering #SailingTips #SailingLifestyle #RacingSailboats Music/Sounds https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/g...
