Larry…..How about this?……

For the static rigging, just copy what you see, on the above photograph

For the sail controls, I would suggest a sail arm winch with a strip of wood fastened to the servo arm.

The wood strip will have several holes along it`s length.

The servo will have an actuation angle of about 40 degrees…ie 20 degrees either way

Simply, fasten cords to any convenient hole, take the cord up through the deck, using a chunky brass eyelet…then to the sail or sail boom

For more fun. use several servos and control any number of sails individually

Any problems….post a question
