    I’d like to get some feedback on my first long term sailing testing. I have not tested the speed. It could be slow. I set the speed based on eyeball.



    Right before I went home, I filled the hull with water to test the pump. Immediately the drive ESC reverse died. Only forward working. Shortly after the entire ESC died. I’m switching to a new ESC for the drive.

    Speed is slow. Maybe 28sec. Turning response looks pretty good.

    awesome. I was most concerned about turning. But I was pretty happy with it as well. I’ll bump the speed up and see what happens.
