Dunno yet. Only sailed it once so far. Done lots of fiddling with it though!

I meant in marginal conditions, when you alternate between planing and squatting, but I take it you meant no. |

Erm...... upwind when it's really breezy yeah it has quite high main loads but that's got bugger all to do with it planing. Every boat there is gets higher mainloads in bigger breeze. Going downwind when it's really planing, no there isn't much main load at all which makes complete sense seeming as with the boat accelerating the load in the rig decreases. Edited by Doug.H |

Do you also find that the main sheet load drastically increases when the 4k starts to plane? If so, it might have something to do with an S-shaped drag-curve... |

Ordered! Also added a second 16mm block to up the purchase some. Definitely not class legal on a 4K but I find myself struggling (to the point of giving up) to keep it totally class legal. |

I didn't know it! I just guessed if Rich did it on a 300
there was fairly limited scope for what it might do. Probably the most intelligent thing I've done all week, including uni...

Ooh I like that idea. I was about to place an order with Sailboats. I might just add one of them! |

James, surprised to see you posting. Thought you'd be out sailing. If you don't use it you lose it! Some in the queue will not be that patient. Ditto about results after a windy day. Keep us all updated about how the boat goes, tips and photos. How's the quality?
