The ScaleSailing
Footy sized 'Gooseneck & Vang' bound on to a
mast tube
on a 'Harpy'. The assembly can be attached to a
mast in the usual way as an
upgrade replacement on a Kittwake or your own
Footy.

Above are the
contents of the Gooseneck & Vang set. Simple
assembly
and clear instructions. The modified solid brass
turnbuckle gives you easy
to adjust and precise control of your boom
position and hence mainsail
twist which is a vital part of good sail tuning.

| Keel
Bulbs |
|
After a few coats
of primer and gloss you will have a smooth and
streamlined
keel bulb. The ScaleSailing bulb halves are easy
to work with.
|
|
The lead keel bulb
is supplied as two
cast halves. The two castings are
epoxied either side of a wood core
at the base of the fin. |
The gaps between the
lead halves and
the wood core are filled with car body
filler.Aim
for a circular cross section and
build up a nice round nose and tail.
Wear a dust mask.
|
|
|
With just a little
work you can get very
close to a circular cross section.Always
paint the bulb as soon as it is
fitted to the fin to reduce handling of
the bare metal.
|
|
|
In the latest kits
the bulb halves come ready painted with primer on
the outer surfaces. They are assembled and filled
in the same way as shown above.
