If you are bored or sad, spend the evening working through the Pinnel and Bax website, or a Harken Catalogue or the Technical Marine Supplies website … lots of interesting gear and potential solutions, you don’t need to have a magazine to lead you there.  Have a look at what the leading proponents in you class are doing.  Boat bimbling is an important part of the activity … however experience suggests that opting for clevis pins or a fancy turnbuckle are well along the diminishing returns curve … and being able to adjust your standing rigging is all very well provided you know what needs to be achieved

Add unstayed rig to the list 

Originally posted by 423zero At least with unstayed rig, he can let the boom go right forward, presuming that's what he wants from space age rigging? Trade off being bendy mast, perhaps designers could concentrate their efforts on a mast that doesn't need standing rigging.

What like the literally hundreds of thousands of unstayed windsurfing masts that support sail sizes well up to the same levels as racing dinghys, then there was the D 1 of course, probably another PYAG victim, certainly a victim here, just like the Pornstar will be..

Oh and you're quite correct in my thinking of an unstayed mast preference, but that was before my foray into trapeze sailing, so strike a trapeze off the list and stays really become irrelevant unless you wish to employ some ridiculously oversize spinnaker. But my current thinking is how to have another bash at that Fireblade/Hybrid and see if I can't devise some method of flying a symmetric spinnaker single handed (thinking maybe a dangly pole), now that would be cool on the lake, bye bye Lasers downwind.
