Video from the Swift / Musto event

Doug,

Sorry for what's going to seem like a circular answer!

I'll write a piece about its' elements sometime fairly soon--with pictures.  It's a bit complex since seven elements must be in proper proportion to make it work (forestay angle, jib foot length, relativity attachment point on the launcher throat, boom height, boom length, bridle base width, and purchase of both the main and jib).  If any one of these is not correct, the system will not stay in sync--at least not as presently configured.

I'll post it on the swiftsolo.org website when I get the explaination complete (likely two months).

Anyone know where you could get some of these for a launching trolley in the UK. They would make it alot easier getting up a shingle beach.
