downloaded this boat and it was fine at first but now the spin is abit temperamental, and sometimes works on the first hoist but then if you try to drop it it doesnt drop and it just stays on the side you put it up for the whole upwind, well for the rest of the course, and also it is doing nothing no power is gained from it.
what shall i do?

Thank you for the feedback sailor_seb. A bit more testing before release would probably have been a good idea, but I got impatient and wanted to get it out there!
I am holding on for a couple of weeks so that I can assimilate all the feedback into an Mark2, and working to improve the Fireball in the meantime. I think a good dinghy, other than the single sail Moth and Laser, will be a real benefit to VSK4. Let me know of any other contributions towards making the Fireball a pleasure to sail (like the real one), and watch this space.

Since I switched from helm to crew 2 years ago, I have found I am very good at getting spinnakers in a mess. Seems I can mess up virtual spinnakers as well!
