I'd start off with the stuff that makes you go faster.

1) Get the rig setting from the top guys.

2) Make sure your foils and rig are square in the boat; here are some shots of me doing this on the 12, gives you an idea of the process. BTW the 12 was pefectly square even though it was a one off. Brett built a good boat.

3) Taper the kite halyard

Merlinboy - what sail number is your 200?

The one I bought was still a 1:1 purchase on the main, so that soon got changed for Harken blocks. Also a new kite system was in order as it had a cleat rather than a Spinlock.

Next thing to chnage will be the kicker onto a 16:1 system, cos i don't think it is.

Oh plus all our ropes changes cos they were pants.

Ah! Cunning idea to true the foils with a laser. Like it!

Its 805, still has 1:1 on main not sure about kicker but i would suspect its not 16:1.  I'm off to get her now so will fill in the blanks later!!
