Just gotta clamp the mainsheet under your thumb on the trapeze handle, hook on then start playing it

Mark ive only just worked out that you are Neptune on
here. I never realised. Anywho yes I have realised that wire to wire with no cleat is going to be near enough impossible. I going to give it a go though. Ive got an idea in my head of how I can do it but whether it will actually work in practice is another matter. Lazy hooks = pointless on a cleat-less 600 = PIMP. And yes I will be coming to Datchet. Ive heard theres camping on site but I couldnt see anything on the website about it. Even though it will be cold in April we decided that staying in a motel, however warm it was, is just too expensive for us poor students. So if we can camp for a few pennies then we will. I will try and get the rest of the 600s from my club to come along aswell. There is 5 of us now. |

Mark not sure if they will work like that but they are much neater then the 'classic' Style ones. Would of been good on the 14 i used to sail.

Salty - As you have taken your main sheet jammer off (like most of us) I look forward to watching you wire to wire taking with your lazy hooks to see what kind of extra speed it heps you carry out of the tacks or to see which you drop first - mainsheet, trapeze or tiller And if it does make you quicker - i'm only turning up for events were there is a windy forecast!

They are lazy hooks. I thought they were quite common but
the RS guys had never seen them before either. They are designed so that the hook is always pointing downwards, making it easier to hook on. Its an Ovington thing - http://www.ovingtonboats.com/products/577 They were already on the boat when i bought it (good work at pimping george) so i cant claim the idea for them. |

It was designed especially for the foiler so i presume it
only really works well on one of those. Plus it wouldnt be class legal and there would be a lot of kerfuffle in allowing it in the rules as im sure a lot of the class would disagree. Russ - Thanks mate ![]() bits on there. Most of them are spliced into the control lines so until I replace those they will have to stay. But yes I will get round to doing it at some point. I should probably stop wasting time and money on utterly pointless things like the carbon fibre vinyl that i got cut to go over the black bit of the logos at the back of the deck. It does look pretty sweet, although only noticable if you look closely. I doubt many people spotted it. Edited by s.a.l.t.y |

Salty, I was on the 300 section at the show and i thought your 600 looked good. But fella, you still have the original Holt blocks dotted around. They almost look retro nowerdays dude. You NEED to change them. |

Would the FF sail work for a "low riding" 600, or is it too optimised for foiling?
