Well does it or doesn't it? I've got an email box full of 'don't do its' and here we have 'yes it works fine provided it's kept well serviced' (which I do do with my ropes and bits)and Jamie reckons it's cool. So who's right?

The Canoe people, who do have a choice, use just about exclusively the pump system because they find it works better. If it doesn't work so well if poorly maintained then the remedy would seem to be obvious.

OK, point taken, pump is binned, so why do they persist in building it in the RS700?
No don't tell me.. The Class wont permit it's exclusion, better they all soldier on with a crap system rather than simply adopt the MPS/RS100 style system. ER there will be no V-Twin class association.

It will swing and retract, like the Alto.

Sorry I missed the first part of the thread then.... Anyway, back to the spinnaker pole. So is it fixed or retractable??

I'd never seen it before and think it looks easy to use and was fascinated by it, so given the criterior of this craft, which is to prove it is possible to design and make something both fast and easy< I thought why not, it wouldn't be difficult to revert back to a normal MPS style system, which effectively the 800 system is, so it'll have both options.

Why use the pump system.
I have always found it pretty pointless.
Keep it simple......
