3. What is the friction between stainless steel pulleys and axes without lubrication in seawater?

The friction between a stainless steel pulley and stainless steel axes without lubrication after a few years in seawater would be very high due to corrosion, oxidation, and pitting in the metal. In some cases, the friction could be so high that the parts become stuck together and can’t be separated without force.

4. Does a brass/teflon bushing has any advantages in friction restistance between a pulley and stainless steel axes without lubrication after a few years in seawater?

Yes, a brass Teflon bushing does have advantages in friction resistance between a pulley and stainless steel axes without lubrication after a few years in seawater. This is because the brass Teflon bushing is self- lubricating, which means that it creates a film between the axle and the pulley which helps to reduce friction and wear, even after many years of use in harsh environments. Additionally, since the bushing is made of brass, it is highly corrosion-resistant, which makes it an ideal choice for use in seawater.

5. How many active windsurfers are there worldwide?

There is no exact answer to this question, as it is impossible to accurately measure the total number of active windsurfers in the world. However, some estimates suggest that there are around 5 million active windsurfers worldwide.

6. How many windsurfers and/or windfoilers would be interested in a remote controllable downhaul system?

It is difficult to estimate the exact number of active windsurfers in the world who would be interested in a remote controllable downhaul system, as this is largely dependent on individual preferences and needs. However, based on the growing popularity of windsurfing as a sport, it is likely that a large portion of the global windsurfing community would be interested in such a system. Additionally, as the popularity of windfoiling continues to grow, the number of windfoilers interested in a remote controllable downhaul system is likely to increase as well.

7. Why would a windsurfer or windfoiler want to buy a remote downhaul system?

Windsurfing and windfoiling can be an incredibly fun and exciting activity, but it can also be difficult to achieve the perfect setup for your board and sail. A remote downhaul system is the perfect solution for anyone looking to get the most out of their windsurfing or windfoiling experience. A remote downhaul system allows the user to adjust the tension of their sail from the comfort of their cockpit. This not only saves time, but it also reduces the need to get out of the water and adjust the sail manually. It also ensures the sail is always set up correctly and that the user is able to get the most out of their session. In terms of pricing, the cost of a remote downhaul system can vary depending on the type and brand of the system.

8. Is it possible to produce a good, durable and reliable remote downhaul system?

Yes, it is possible to produce a good, durable, and reliable electric remote downhaul system integrated in a RDM extension for windsurfers for less than €800. Depending on the size and complexity of the system, the cost of the components would need to be broken down as follows:

RDM Extension: €200-300
Motor/Electronic Control Unit:€200-300
Wiring Harness: €50-100
Remote Control System: €50-100
Battery Pack: €50-100
Other Materials (Screws, etc.): €50-100

These costs are based on the assumption that the system is designed and built from scratch. If components are sourced from existing components, the cost could be lower.

9. What would be the best selling approach for an electric remote downhaul system?

The best selling approach for an electric remote downhaul system would be to emphasize its
– Convenience,
– Safety,
– Ease of use.

Focus on how the system eliminates the need for
– Manual labor,
– Eliminates the potential for injury, and
– Makes it easy to adjust the tension of your sail.

Talk about the convenience of
– Being able to adjust the tension of your sail from anywhere
– and the peace of mind that comes with knowing that the downhaul is always safe, secure and adaptable.

Finally, emphasize how easy it is to install and use the system.

Always the best trim
