Whats TT buying next???!!

   It is the other end that breaks on the ones at Hunts. There is a heavy duty shackle that should be used though that is much more resiliant (apparently).

	If you're using a cascade system it makes a lot of sense to use multiple anchors. On a Cherub, which has serious kicker loads, I've used three separate anchors on a double cascade and had no problems at all. The shackle I used onto the boom strap would probably have been good to anchor a fair sized warship...

	People always have a fit when they see that many controls, but really the only one you won't find in the vast majority of stayed boats are the lowers. They all have rig tension (or lack thereof) in some way shape or form, and everything else is a standard control. It's just a question of where you adjust it from. People always suck in there breath when they see my Finn but if you break it down the only thing I can adjust that you can't in a Laser is the inhaul....
