It mat not be the finest but for size I bet there isn't a heavier one. I
just hope it doen't pull the corners out of his new Main. I wonder at what wind speed he has to use the topping lift to get horizontal wrinkles in the main? Also wonder it the topping lift put enough bend in the mast to pull the belly out of the main he is trying to put draft in? Wonder if he has trouble getting Sag in the forestay with the weight of that "Finest Boom"? I wonder if you would like to comment on these conditions Sidney, since you seem to be so well voiced on this boom. Would you also like to state what size "Sock" you are? I'll wait to drink on that until your reply. I should be well dried out by then:^) Remember the comments about the Capt who is a Bully and an Ass. Thought I'd mention I'm not to fond of the product produced by a Bull's Ass. OT |

Not likely. Neal rammed a telephone pole down his mast for extra strength.

Ok OZ,
Just so DSK doesn't get lonely on the 'net, the question that comes to my mind, is what happens the forestay and backstay tension? When you have enough tension on the backstay and forestay to bend your boat like a Banana, how in the world do you and the "KING" change sail shape to match changing race conditions? OT |

Oz,
Are you using a Hydraulic back stay adjuster? |
