We had a bit of an unusual boat come through the shop for a tune up. It’s an ATLAS which had a rather short run in Italy right around Covid. We believe it’s a result of MX Components and Thai Safepack in Thailand. No builder badge inside or ITA Reg number but it did carry an Italian cert and sail number. Not entirely sure how that works but oh well.

Anyway, we repaired a wiring issue with the RMG, installed a bow block system, set up the A and B rigs as well as programmed the RMG/Futaba radio combo. Ready to go.

Older VENTI in for service. New spring loaded return line, new RMG line and new sheets. Sending the RMG down to CPM for a once over. It’s hunting each time the stick is moved. Getting her ready for the Region 7 in December.

Really great time at the R2 IOM Championships where we saw the new Venti really hold its own. USA 25 showed good speed upwind and great speed downwind.

Great to see friends, bunk with Stan Wallace and hang with my bro. Can’t wait till the next one…
