Richard Pakes from Haversham is a very handy sailor, usually in a Supernova. I think he'd be pleased to be called young.....

Most definitely Russ. The polyester boats were up to 14kgs overweight. That makes the difference, not the tin rig. |

He got a Masters prize at this year's Nationals, but I have no idea how old he is. If anyone has any tuning info for a tin rig boat - Wavelength mast - it would be much appreciated.

You've got to do something about that mental attitude, nobody is better than you, if you think like that you'll be content to start in the third rank, not really push for it and generally be content and happy with yourself for ever dwelling back there, you've actually of late gone way up in my estimation I'm almost embarrassed to say and now it's time to punch through to the next level, now you have a decent boat. Now this EPS guy, he sails a Supernova off sail no 666 and looks decidedly strawberry blonde what can I say? He hasn't got a beard, if he grew one it would be a similar colour to your own, next time you need to focus on him, bury his ass on the line, ask him some personal hygiene question and how he copes with it, with three seconds to go, be really nice to his wife or girlfriend before the race, ask him if the wings on his EPS are holding up ok, stuff like that..

Depends on the sail more than the mast nessa. I'd go fir the Simon Childs set up to start with except do not go for 300lbs of rig tension on a polyester boat, you'll rip the foredeck off.i think I used to use about 130 and even then there's a chance you could damage it if its not strong. Most of the vandercraft boats were basically development ones. The strengthening under the mast varies throughout. You should be ok on something the age of 1065.

I seem to recall is it not that much overweight but it is fragile in places (and has evidence of many repairs in 2 particular spots).
