around the stock pin Rick?

One guy did but most dont bother. I just run it round a block a the back of the cockpit, up to a block on the bow and then tie to the inboard end of the sprit. So it takes up as the kite comes down.

From the above think I might have found reason for my haliyard-around-
the-stay problem - my take-up shockcord came undone on first trip out
and I simply tied it off onto the front toestrap plate. Sounds like it needs
more travel and tension.

Anyone know the correct arrangement (cant find any good pics anywhere) ?

Cheers Dave !

That is sort of how Ive done it , but didnt see the eye (I was sailing at the
time) so tied to the front toe-strap anchoring plate. For some reason dont
appear to have much tension in the halyard so going to have a look tonight
to see why.

Thanks

My boat now running a bit late (End April) - does anyone know if the issue with the kite chute is sorted yet? Also is there a fix out for the chafe on the c/board uphaul? Nice to think if my boat's late it'll at least get these bits sorted.

Hope to get a demo end of this week at Largs. Contact James Pearson if anyone else is interested in seeing the boat. It should be at Largs SC over this coming weekend.

Good luck when you get your boat Martin,

Hope to see you on the water this summer.

I am hoping to see James's boat at some events early summer so I have another 100 to race with. Looking forward to North Berwick waves at their open ragatta.

Cheers,

Keith.

And to top it off....wierdly enough....it was a track that I started a DJ set off to for a Fabric demo CD i did....it has a bit of a cult following.

awful.
