Hello,
A sign at the Lakeside would be a great help.
A lot of people were watching as I rigged my J Class yacht.
The same amount of people watched as I checked that all was working correctly.
The same people watched as I carried the boat to the water and launched it.
The same people watched as the boat sped off into the distance in a good wind.
Yet nobody warned me about the problem that was about to happen.
NO CONTROL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
I shouted across to a guy sailing a large tug, to turn my boat around, which he did.
Got the boat back to the launch area.
Then, and only then, was I told of the problems with my transmitter !!!!!!!.
I had travelled 120 miles round trip, to sail for 5 very worrying minutes!.
Since buying the tranny, I have sailed all over the Country, never had any problems, never heard of any.
Knowing there is a problem at the Lake, the Club should be more alert and warn Visitors !!.
John.
