The main usually flips first. It doesn't make any difference if they flip or not, unless you need a starboard tack advantage, racing. an RC boat gybe is not the problem it is with full size boats.

It appears that the boat had a Flysky receiver. A Flysky FS-I6 or FS-I6x would be a compatible Transmitter, and they are cheap and good.

You might iron them if they are cotton, but new materials probably would suffer.
Battens are the normal way to keep the leach from curling.

It seems you need all new electronics. The transmitter (Tx) should not be hot. Servos should hold steady as long as they are powered.

FlySky makes a good, inexpensive set of electronics. Many...

Check boats listed at AMYA site. They are all raced by many people and are proven designs. Any of them will be good. If your boat is not included, there probably is a reason, it's junk.

Look into Flysky radio. They are cheap and effective. All boats use the same stuff. Check AMYA and local clubs listed there.

It looks like the sails are junk, homemade, without regard to proper sail shape. I would replace those, and the mast seems too short, also. The hull looks great. Carr Sails would help you.

Selek boat

The boat is sleek and fast, but I do not like very narrow hulls. They are fast but not beautiful. If you want speed, get a motor boat. When boats race as a class, speed is not important. I think...

Joysway DF65 Rigs

The A+ rig is a newer, larger rig than the original A rig. The boat does well in high winds, so I suppose they figured it could handle more sail area.

When short of space, you can break the boat down and re-rig again at the lake. If it is set up for this, it doesn't take too long.
