A new way for yankees to test the rigging set maybe....
Is the forward stay to loose? Or is it that the back stays are to loose? Looks as well rigged as Nellens boat. http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/171500..._geneva_ap.jpg Joe |

Why leave the rig under tension any longer than you need to? BTW, it looks like a 505, which doesn't have a backstay, let alone two. Is there any boat that has back *stays*, i.e. more than one? ahhh...Michigan sailing! Well, not for another 5 weeks or so. //Walt |

Why leave the rig under tension any longer than you need to? A few dinghies sail with a moderately slack rig. Snipes brought it to an art form back in the Seventies. When sailing to weather on starboard tack, the port shroud would have nearly a foot of freeplay. And we'd tighten our jib luff wires to the point that about 75% of the tension was on the luff wire and only about 25% on the stay. BTW, it looks like a 505, which doesn't have a backstay, let alone two. Is there any boat that has back *stays*, i.e. more than one? Some big boats have runners, and I believe there was a Hunter or something that had twin backstays, for whatever reason I haven't the slightest. Max |
