I bought a volvo extreme, What a shame that it will not sail. I have tried letting out the sails to give more spill, I have extended the keel(5 1/2 inches) added 150 grams to the keel bulb and the thing just lies on it`s side even in very light breeze. Its just seems to go sideways all the time.

Please can someone help me. It`s a great looking boat and gives my mates a lot of fun laughing at me.

Many thanks

Steve

There is a discussion thread about this model on the Model Boat Mayhem site which might help.
