I knew one day Frey bentos would come in handy, I had no idea what they were for, but they make the Wing.. Wang better than ever and confuse and confound the Merlinerati, they looked like that dog out of the Insurance ad last week, their little jowls dragging up the beach having landed some considerable time after the Alto of joy...

That is a huge custom chute.  Presumably solves all the drop-problems that so seem to terrify Altoistas, at least on port gybe.

I give up. I think Y&Y does not like my photo type. Picture was of me cleating main with my teeth....I thought it was funny anyway. It can be seen on the Lightning 368 facebook page....should anyone be interested. I'm going sailing in the rain now.

What does the harken double cleat solve that two cleats side by side can't do? We use one of those double ones on the quarter tonner for the mainsheet. It is far bigger than you need and that's why it costs so much more than you are used to paying.

No it doesn't solve the problem, what is needed and hence my post in the repair bit is a below the for stay chute entrance.

Anyone who designs a boat with a bloody great wire thing in front of the bit where the spinnaker comes out, needs flogging to within an inch of their life as punishment.

Who wants a jib tack stuck way up in the air either.

There is a technique for dealing with the problem, but most Alto men don't seem to have evolved that far.

Well that's why they use wimmen to do the job up there in banjo country isn't it? Whilst y'all are playing with your sisters?

As to the technique to hoist and drop a kite, it might surprise you to know after 8 years and countless hoists and drops which also require pole centering, we might just have worked out what to do..

A solution could be a redesign of the jib tack to accommodate a higher foot.

So this is the current set up, the continuous blue rope with the two swivel jammers.

Strange they're not in the same position either side..
Move the port swivel jammer to the same position as the starboard one and then put a center one in it's place which tensions both lines together.
