At the fireball nationals a few years ago, im pretty sure that one guy used a phantom main. It cant be far off the same size, as it had to get measured to sail in the event

A self tackers an interesting idea, though I suspect that I would have a temptation for it to go from 'just for the kids to play with' to a 'the winds quite light, I can manage it by myself and hike a bit harder' Theres also an old broken fibreglass mast at the back of the dinghy park, and I've got a raggy aysmmetric off an MX-Ray.......... |

I was going to rig a Laser 4000 jib onto my Contender with a basic selftacking system , but It was taller than the forestay. So as I didn't want to drill any more holes in the mast I didn't bother, but if you can get a smaller jib it's not difficult to do. My plan was to just replace the forestay with a rope forestay and a cleat at the bottom, putting a wire up the front of the jib, with a block on a "T" hook in the mast for it to run through |

I once had a thing called a Zoom which had been abandoned at a distant club. It had two mast positions and two shroud positions, one for single sail and one for a jib as well. It came with no sails and so I fitted an old lightning main and a laser two jib. Rig tension when single sailing was achieved with an old jib wire with a 2x2x1 and a trap adjuster and when using 2 sails I fitted a halliard rack
on the jib halliard. To tension it all up you could haul in on the forestay, hook on the rack and away you went. Well, not me but my mate did, and it seemed quite effective. Very laser like. Sold it on ebay! Has anyone ever seen one? It was a very professional moulding. |
