RE: nirvana II tips and tuning guide

I will be sailing in steady winds tomorrow from 10-15 mph on a 5+ acre pond. What sort of set-up do you recommend? Should the shrouds be very tight or not so much? How about the backstay? ...

RE: Looking for Nirvana II sailors in Richmond VA metro

RE: Big boat servo help needed

Oh yea, it is o_l_d alright. However, I suspect it has quite a bit of torque. The boat's sails rise 70 inches above the deck. The hull weighs something over thirty pounds. It is some kind of "J"...

If you go to the website Steve Lang runs, you will find there are two versions of the Nirvana for sale there. The site is called SailRCNirvana or something like that. The more expensive boat is the...

RE: Anyone have the new Nirvana II (Pros & Cons)

I believe the Nirvana II will sail up to about 15 kts winds, but maybe a little less. I sail on a lake of some five acres so chop doesn't really come into play where I am. Adding lead to the keel...

RE: Richmond VA Metroplex - Soling one meter sailors

I sail at Byrd Park from time to time. If the weather is good, I may sail tomorrow there in the boat lake. I live just north of Richmond, but haven't found a better lake than this. I'd like to...
