Our annual Spring Fling V32 Regatta is April 25th at beautiful Avon Town Park Lake in Avon, Indiana. This year we moved it up a month and its our first regatta...
Hello, Ya'll After too many years of wondering about the hobby, I have finally taken the plunge. Dang, what I've been missing. Like many others, I started...
I have proposed a V-32 rule change which would allow permanent attachment and/or sealing the hull-keel joint as you have done. The ballot should appear in the...
... I sealed mine a while ago, with clear silicone and have not had any problems with leakage. Occasionally, water comes in over the top under hard sailing...
I should try that. I once came in with water almost reaching the electronics. Of course I was playing in 20kt winds and having fun submarining wing on wing....
I've been sailing at Delia Park and am getting tired of fighting the geese and their droppings. Anyone know of a sailing pond in Northern Macomb County, Mi....
For what it's worth, and I'm going to do it religeously from now on, check the Mast step on your rig for cracks. My V-32 was dis-masted because the wood...
... I like the tie-wrapped sponge idea, Phil. And, I think that silicone as a sealant for the keel is a better plan than epoxy. The keel should be removable...
... David, The procedure to adopt the two proposal to change the V-32 Rules is straightforward. Your Official 2009 AMYA Ballot will be on the back side of the...
I created a new video of my "Purple Flirp" V-32 for YouTube. If you are wanting to see one underway, or get someone interested in building a V-32 or sailing...
Vote Early, please do! Vote Often . . . oh well, we each get only one vote. All you AMYA members should have received your Official Ballot for 2009 in the same...
Hi, Paul! Great to hear from you. Hope everything is going great for you! Had a great regatta at Kettering, OH awhile back. That's my boat "Stingray" wit...
Hi! I'm new to the RC Yacht hobby and purchase my first V-32 yesterday. The number 154 was written on the inside of the hull; however, the boat did not have...
... Robert, If you bought the boat new, there should be a sticker inside the hull with a 4 digit number on it (sticker is usually on the right side). If you...
Hello new to the Club and just starting racing about a year ago in DES MOINES IA, I have read some old messages of building But would like all the tips I can...
The interim AMYA web site is now up at www.theamya.org. Please update your links accordingly. The transition team recognizes that the site is a work in...
M1 Allow keel installation either fixed or removable, yes 38, no 3, Passed M2 Allow use of jib club topping lift, yes 26, no 15, Passed Paul Thompson V-32...
Paul, Now I need to figure out how to use the topping lift, and seal in my keel. Kind of a disappointing voter turn out. I just wonder if the voter count was...
Don't be disappointed, consider that in the US (Pop. 200 000 000) and the rest of the world, we could not find 20 people who would buy a Voyager (a good boat,...
Hello What is the best material to pour the Keel & Ruder with I am not sure what to buy I know that I need to stop about a 1/4 inch short of the top and use...
... I used West Systems epoxy. You want 1qt. of #105A Resin and 0.44p of #206A Slow Hardner and a set of minipumps. About $67 from Jamestown Distributors. Also...
... Rich: I have found # 9 bird shot worked the best for me. It has the smallest diameter shot size which produced a denser ballest lower in the keel. Seal it...
Another epoxy that I use is a finish resin called Zpoxy. You can get enough to do the job for about $20. It can be ordered from Tower Hobbies on-line. I...
Another choice is "Envirotex Lite" which is available at Michael's Craft Stores and Hobby Lobby. This is the stuff that you used to see people use a lot to...
