"Either of these conditions can be corrected by changing the prop."
It is generally not a good idea to run a transmission in reverse all of the
time, since with most designs this involves more gears running, and wear that
they aren't designed for, but there may be exceptions. If I knew for sure
I use a sanding block designed for touching up dry wall mud that attaches to a
shop vac.
It uses special sheets of what looks like window screen, but which is abrasive
and is available in a few different grit sizes.
That coupled with a fine dust bag in the shop vac, and I do my sanding
I use an "ATN tacker", which is a fibreglass saddle that slides up and down on
the rolled up genoa.
I also use a sleeve to douse the chute. The sleeve gives me more certainty of
control, but it is too slow a process for racing round the buoys.
