Does anyone know the top end of the weight range for the new CII rig? With the new rig, has the mast gained any extra height? Also does it now sail anywhere near its handicap...
Cheers

The CII rig appears to have lifted the top weight. I'm 69-70kgs and am one of the heaviest in the fleet, I only really struggle in the very light stuff (like the inlands this year sadly!) however on the sea even in lightish winds most of the time at the nats I got 6th. In fact when the worlds were at Garda the winner weighed 73kg. If you've got any other question feel free to PM me. ------------- I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e! |

Hi can anyone tell me where I can get a CII rig from either new or second hand. I have tried Topper but they no longer sell the Byte. Cheers |

Topper are still supposed to be supplying the Byte till such time as a new supplier/builder is found....watch this space. Have you actually spoken to Topper if so PM me and I'll see if there is any way of getting one from Ian or Nautivala through the class assoc. I have a feeling if you can hang on for a couple of months it miht not be a problem though ------------- I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e! |
