Sail2Play sailboats are driven by simple control systems

Your Play2Sail boats uses the power of the wind acting on sails to propel the boat forward.

The two main controls of your sailboat are the rudder - used to control the direction of the boat in the water, and sail trim - that refers to the angle of the sails in relation to the boat hull.

Based on the direction of the wind and the orientation of the boat hull, sail trim is adjusted to harness the wind and keep the boat moving forward.

Your sailboat is fully controlled from the piers via a very simple remote control unit (2.4 GHz 4CH stick type transmitter) that gives you finger-tip control over the rudder and over the sails. On the boat, the radio receiver is connected to two battery-powered electric motors or servos. One servo controls the position of both main and jib sails together (allowing the sails to be trimmed), the other the position of the rudder (allowing the boat to be steered). By changing the position of the two joysticks on the transmitter signals on the radio are sent to the sailboat and they are converted into motion that operates the rudder and sails.
