Bloody hell.....all I did was post a few pictures as an experiment! Now I have to be accurate. In reality 625 is being sailed by the girl who bought it from Louis and that picture is at Combs taken by me from a long way away with failing zoom lens. The rigging pictures are from Weymouth in 2015. The lightning is me last year at Combs taken by Louis with his iphone. OK?

And I'm pleased to note my sheet biting technique isn't unique to me as demonstrated by the lad in the marigolds in a lightning is it?

"Lad", well thank you kind sir! Yes, my modified Lightning....with swiveling centreboard.

Actually 625 was the lad at the Weymouth Nationals 3 years ago and he won 7 out of 8 so he must have rigged it kinda' right!

Well Jim, I struggle for some reason to post pictures and I was trying to post a few Byte rig pictures. I prodded round with my finger and these popped up!
