Eh up.....I just woke up after winter sleep. Bytes shared a couple of events with those OK thingies and although they look strange the owners (mostly with beards) like them in modern sophisticated colours.....a bit like painting a vintage car orange. They go like stink in a blow. Night night.x

In a proper boat you adjust it on the fly, back for upwind, upright for offwind, doesn't every boat do that? Boards have been doing it for years. That's what makes the Solution a great little boat.

You will set the leech tension and mast position with the chocks and foot position. You can do that before a race and it will be all good for the race, unless there are some dramatic wind condition changes you will be all good.

Oh dear, now I'm less impressed and there was I thinking it was about mast rake. |

I think the Hammer is a fine Analogy, maybe I should draw your attention to the nail gun. Noisily revolutionising nail insertion ![]() ![]() Edited by iGRF - 10 Mar 17 at 10:07am |

What's the blue line? Looks like it pulls the mast forward, but so close to the deck I'd presume it has almost no effect on mast shape

Hammers have been about for thousands of years, "quietly" (haha) doing their job, no one campaigning to have new designs, OK and other old designs been about for a while quietly doing their job

![]() Like this one, missed it at the show, love that carbon arrowhead gizmo on the deck. Such a shame all this effort isn't being put into some nice new boat. |
