Minisprint

The seat in pictures is a prototype, it is fixed, their is no slide, it is longer than plank, I think it is same width as a Merlin, so quite a lot of righting for a single sail.

Oh, I'm loving this, finally I can get to tinker about without too much 'class' grief, you've done exactly what I thought it needed just as I fell out of the bloody thing, with that seat, and the centre sheeting. So does the mainsheet block thing slide with the seat or don't you slide it, I'd like some arrangement where you can kick the whole lot out and it self centres when you need to shift back in quickly, considered doing it to the EPS but that sail is so big, there is no where far enough out I could get to compensate for that sail size in the sort of breeze we got today.

Loving what you've done there 423... Inspiring I'm on it, just wish my garage wasn't full of junk so I could start now.

This seat "could slide", approx' 200mm either side of centre, 

I can see me ending up with one of those IC things I've always been fascinated by them, but always get put off by the anoraks at the dinghy show, they're so weird you get the feeling you'll get sucked in, they'll whisk you off to some alien planet and conduct experiments on you, that is if their autism ever lets them engage with the unwashed.

So for now I shall have to make do with what has been christened an 'IC for hobbits' by one of the Miracle wags, whose arse I am going to beat in it if I die in the attempt.

Good idea those swivel seat things, has anyone ever managed to make a working self centering thing you kick out with you and it returns if you bend your knees?

Made a movie starring a really ugly guy?

Sorry, I'll get my coat and go have a look.
