does that arrangement in the lower photo get rid of the need for the bridle at stern?

Spent Sat avo modding the RS in anticipation of the ship race, but then
used the Alto. So haven't tried the none rear sheeting yet, but the front end stuff is proven. Downhaul works, the mastfoot protector stops the spinnaker sheet engaging with the nuts on the side of the boom pivot. Oh and a small pulley to return the outhaul in my direction. 
Temporary re-siting of rear sheeting untried. |

Nationals at Parkstone - is there camping on site or any recommendations for pitches or accomodation within stumbling distance?

Got another go in the 100 last night, while the owner did RO duties. This is the last time I’m going to sail one or if I do sail again I will have to buy one! Conditions about F2-3 didn’t have chance to put the big rig on (Phantom weight) but wound the ram up to 8 on the scale. Got a good clean start but by the end of the beat all the 4’s and Phantom had passed me. I sat well forward on the wing (sitting on the spinny sheet block). Downwind passed the Phantom back and then last of the group of 4’s. the next couple of legs were W/L and this is where the 100 came into it’s own, going much fast and lower than the 4’s. Overall came 2nd only 29sec behind the leader. |

Good video James and I guess we have all reached the same conclusions, i.e.
dry capsize ahead of the wing with boom walk like a 300 or over the transom. Coming in over the wing doesn't usually work unless the boat is slightly off the wind and you can sheet the mainsail a little as you come in to stop pulling the boat on top of you. Obviously the lightweights may find this easier than the heavier sailors. As demonstrated, over the back from an open transom is very easy and the only thing you have to do is keep one hand on the windward wing applying pressure to stop a further capsize. |

great video TT - thanks for all the effort and the bruises. Like TimG I thought the missed the straps fall was a laugh. I was interested in how to reach over to uncleat the genny halyard - can you always reach that by going in front of the wings? I have sometime not bothered to uncleat before righting but instead have uncleated it immediately as I jumped back into the boat off the board. I'll have to try reaching down further as it seems a long way for a shorta$$e like me. Have wondered if it would be possible to rig some sort of 'uncleating line'

Which is what causes us the most problem when the boats on it's side. The kite would mostly be in front of the forestay yet the sock mouth is someway behind it. If we were upright with the kite in the water it would be away from the stay. I appreciate though, if the boat started moving when righted it wouldn't be pretty. Might give it a go though. |

+1 Really, really interested in that uncleat and right the boat then dowse the Spinny....i wonder though, on the sea in waves it might get in a right mess, maybe even twist around the pole....dunno...I shall try it though. I thought that the "missed the toe-straps" fall out the back was funny Timg |

That works well if you are quick & it's not choppy (like the video) ... if you are slow and you are in a sea it can lead to the kite getting very tangled around everything .... |

Great Sail 
....although the swimming around made me tired.
