Hello Dragon Force 65 sailers. For much of last season you might have heard me muttering that my sail servo throw just wasn’t what it used to be. When I let the sail out to run with the wind, the boom just didn’t go out nearly as far as it should. You also may have heard me mutter that I needed to pull the deck cover and investigate. Though I should have done that long ago, today I did. The sail servo line had jumped the pulley and was wrapped on the servo shaft. I’m sure this must have happened when I replaced the elastic tensioner (that had rotted). Obviously, should have pulled the deck cover then.
