Buzz Singlehanded Project

yer the foils would be a problem but it would be funny for the people watching!!

Looks like we've done similar mods.  Looped sheets & extendable tiller extension certainly help.

I'd like to get the sail controls back to the helm  - but it needs a spider web of rope or blocks expensively and damagingly screwed all over the hull.  A compromise is to tie the (now 6:1) kicker line to the trap hooks, contender style (you could knot yours to the main sheet).  Outhaul I haven't sorted except to run it through a block tied to the mast and then back along the boom to an elastic - can be adjusted while unhooked during a tack - just about.  The cunningham I rarely use anyway.   I have yet to try running the main sheet straight off the boom, like a 29er - but it does have advantages.

May try your trap hook position tweak, though on the L2 the best single handed position is pretty far forwards - which, unlike the Buzz is about the only place you can easily step out.

As you say - most fun around F4.  F5-6 and my 12stone struggles to keep it flat, or even upright  (straight legs & back might help!!)

F3/4 gusting 5 (and very poor posture).

Keep up the good work and you may convince me to trade up to a Buzz.

More panic-struck than boring.

Rather be on the edge than crewing a tub - but if anyone wants a crew for their RS800 or twin wire cherub ..........

well i like how single handers are so susceptable to your avtions- i must say when i went sailing in my byte yesturday with mylike hmm 15 stone dad all crammed in- tacking became very lazy instead we just swapped over who was helming and the other just sat there.  but not all like 2 ppl or more boats r tubs- ok so things like mirrors and wayfarers r but they all serve there purpose

yer the assymetric boats r alot simpler!   the symetrical spinni will be quite hard to control!
