We recommend to put some absorbent material inside the hull, for example, a piece of spon-
ge, a paper towel or similar. Especially with stronger waves, some water may seep into the
interior of the hull through the cord holes.
To begin choose a day with no more than 1 to 2 Bft. wind strength, make a range test and
observe all additional instructions for your remote control system. Set sail on the recommen-
ded default setting and have fun with your Micro Magic!

Managing the boat
Sailing with yachts model is not difficult if one knows the relationship between wind direction,
boat sails direction and appropriate setting. Familiarize with the sailing theory (eg literature),
before using the model for the first time. We can give you the following hints only a small, ba-
sic assistance.
The various sailing courses
A sailboat can never sail against the wind (black arrow (W)). In the range of 90 ° (dark gray
area) the sails will always flutter (kill) and so can not afford propulsion.
Only when the boat has dropped about 45 degrees from the wind direction, it is in close fet-
ched sailing drive start (transition dark gray to light gray area (2a) or (2b)). This course is na-
med sailing to the wind. Only on this course and hauled, it is possible to sail a sailboat
against the wind through the so-called crosses. It sails to a zigzag course: some time on port
tack (mainsail on the left side of the boat (2a)) and then after a turn (Boat is rotated with its
bow in the wind, from position (2a) through (1) to (2b)) , some time on port tack (mainsail on
the right side of the boat (2b)), etc. The effective fast cruising with a sailboat requires a lot of
tact and observation and is considered a true art of sailing.
The other courses are easier. When the wind comes from the side, the sailing just opened so
far (eased), that they do not flap, about 30 to 45 ° to the longitudinal axis of boat. This course
is known as sailing with wind abeam ((3a) wind abeam on the starboard tack / (3b) wind
abeam on port).
If the boat even further drops (drop: the boat turns with the stern increasingly downwind (II) /
luffing: the boat turns with the bow more and more downwind (I)), it reaches the free wind
course, in which the sails are slackened to about 60 ° to boat center (4a / 4b). Only to this two
courses, the boat max. speed will be reached.
The boat is sailing directly with the wind away, one speaks of the sail against the wind. Here
are the sails max. eased (approximately 90 ° to the longitudinal axis of boat). Various pressu-
re conditions of sailing the foresail will turn on its own on the mainsail opposite side. This pro-
cess can be caused deliberately by small rudder / course corrections. This feathering is cal-
led Butterfly. When the wind is too strong a sailboat can be easily pressed with the bow under
water.
When the boat in free wind course sailing is put in the downwind position by rudder it is
brought (fall) and then by further steer it is brought back to a free wind course (it is controlled
at right angles to the previous free wind course), it rides a jibe. The neck is considered
complete when the far eased boom swings from one side of the boat to the other.
