Neil Atkins purchased an RC Laser and was on the starting line with the rest of the fleet for the final races of the Fall Series last Sunday afternoon.
Neil had a good showing in his first outing with the new boat but shortly after launching, he realized his rudder “stick” on the transmitter was responding opposite of how his brain thought that it “should” work and based on his experience at the helm of other tiller boats. Not wanting to risk losing control by flipping toggle switches mid-race to fix with his boat out on the water he decided to stick it out, racing 5 races with a backwards acting tiller.
The word on the street is that he has plans to adjust and do some testing and that he will have the bugs worked out prior to the start of the Frostbite Series at 2 p.m. on October 24.
Welcome to Fleet #14 Neil! With your addition we now have seven competitors!
Remember, if you’d like an RC Laser sailboat for yourself or would like to give one as a gift to a significant other, we can help you with your order or you can visit the RC Laser website and place your order online or just call Steve Lang directly and tell him what you are interested in doing and he’ll point you in the right direction!
