That is the boat which has been stomping on me - dunno why he is selling. No price on the ad. Apart from the cracked stb wing, it is in pretty good nick.

http://sailingdinghies.apolloduck.co.uk/listings.phtml?cid=106&sti=67 Plenty of bits being offered, even a brand new small sail in one add, although some are a few months old, and I guess the Whitfriars boat is the first one. Edited by Roger - 08 Feb 14 at 11:32pm |

Yep- about then, had enough for one day. I struggled to get off the beach on the smallest kit I had- 4.4m wave sail and a small ironing board suitable for Oompa Loompa sleeves... then changed up to my 'other woman'- a really special board- with a it more sail. Got off the beach fine, but as soon as I was in the main gusts I got absolutely annihilated! All good fun... No really it was, I will try convincing myself of this....

Making sure your existing controls work effectively and knowing how to use them would seem to make more sense? No point f(*&ing about with rake and switching rigs when your not even getting the full range out of the existing setup is there.

A small sail is the answer, the one that was designed for people my weight, but to date I can't find other than by buying another complete boat with two rigs, a small sail and mast top combo which will presumably have their luff curves matched.
As to the lowers, they do act like a deck or space frame, but with the advantage of being adjusted for rake, I really need to make them single wire adjustable, at the moment the only control is via an adjustable forestay I think I might have fashioned after the original broke and dismasted me mid race, forcing the most embarrassing moment of my entire waterborne career, being 'rescued' on a puddle by two girls in a coracle, me, who has sailed the high seas around the world without major incident rescue wise. This lake humbles even the biggest ego... Edited by iGRF - 07 Feb 14 at 11:45am |
