Bluewave

   Bluewave turnbuckles are a great piece of kit.  Use them on the 29er and they allow dynamic rig tension change on the water.

Never pinched or known anyone pinch a finger.

As for over engineered…..I’ve never known one break!

	I'm guessing they are asking for lowers. I think there may be something in the rules about not being allowed to adjust lowers on the water, could be wrong. I suppose if so the purpose is to avoid the possibility of increasing complication of the rig.

	Nicely engineered and would good on a keel boat or a small yacht . But as davidyacht pointed out , totally over engineered and unnecessary for a a light dinghy . Should be perfect for a contender though

	Presumably the benefit of "stuff I've got going on here" is the simplification of the concept ... so why would I want three heavy, over engineered and expensive devices, where a clevis pin and split ring will do? Edited by davidyacht - 18 Mar 22 at 3:28pm

	I'm sat here just wondering, how it is that after what, over ten years at least I've been trawling these pages and nobody has ever mentioned them... And they do a natty fast pin with velcro securing strap.. You'd have thought, somebody might have pointed them out, all my years of ranting at the crap y'all use those chain plates and pins all different dimensions. I only picked up on because of a conversation on the Contender site somebody asking if they're legal ffs you can imagine what the reply is probably going to be.. Just another example of what might have been had we had that magazine and writers that were actually ineterested in what we do and want to do, instead of what we used to do..
