Default Adding SAIL control to A.L. "Hellen"-HELP!

Hi. I've just purchased a Artesania Latina "Hellen" trawler and will be outfitting with remote control. I will of course have both rudder and motor (via an ESC) controls--but I was tinkering with the idea of including SAIL control. Has anyone out there had experience doing this?? I've got the usual questions like, is there enough room for an additional sail servo, can the booms travel enough, are the mast, boom and boom attachment point durable enough? If I can figure out how to do it or even if it's feasable, I will try to start a new thread about it (assuming there is enough interest). For now, any advice would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks so much!
