I am sure the Phantom version was integeral with the cunningham as well.
We had some photos of it a few years ago on the website, maxi may have them somewhere.
Cheers


I had one of those on my first Phantom, might simplify the controls a little but I'd say not recommended, much better to have them adjustable independently.

They are still on there Gordon in the tech area. However that version is just one tighten the foot as the cunningham is tightened not to be adjustable as rogers solo one is.
Everything I say is my opinion, honest

OK, picture below.

A small block is attached to the mast just above boom level, it's tied as tight as possible and then the ropes are taped over as you can see in the pic, tape is getting a little worn and needs replacing really. (There are about 4 loops of very thin line around the mast, thus giving lots of friction)

Line comes up, through the small turning block, through tack of sail, round mast and I then slot it through the back of the small block, tie a thumb knot in the end of the rope and drop the knot into the track on the mast, this secures the end. The line is obviously going down to a block which then twins the control to both side decks.

Bet that's illegal on a solo, ought to check that one out first fella, wouldn't ant you breaking the class rules
Nothing illegal about that in a Solo, fix the tack however you want.I have the adjustable in haul on my Boon Solo, and very useful it is too, I do adjust it regularly throughout a race, usually off downwind, bar tight when I'm overpowered upwind and slack take out of it at other times upwind. On the other hand like pondmonkey you could just tie it off.


I was hoping it was just for the irony of it roger, being jimbos boat.
