What is a tacking stick, please? I have visions of an old person crossing a Merlin using walking sticks?!

it's very straightforward to buy the bits and make your own. Instructions somewhere on the contender website.
Carbon version you can also do something simpler with plastic pipe or tube. Worth going for the cheaper option until you work out if you can use them! Edited by winging it - 03 Jul 12 at 9:22am |

I can never tell what all these guys do with the main sheet? Do they all use a suicide clip on the harness?
