| Norcalsailing report featuring Summer Palace:
http://www.norcalsailing.com/entries/2012/06/05/ditchrun2.html#.T-iWoI2Mfqs Below quoted from Pressure Drop: Drew Scott was helming a F-28. "My crew is starting to swing around to pick me up when El Raton, in perfect control slides up beside me and asks if I would like to get picked up. They had already doused their chute and stopped beside me. I took their offer and got back into a boat (trying to stop a lightweight trimaran next to someone when it is blowing in the mid-20s is not easy so I figured I would not turn down El Raton. My crew ably finished the race on Papillon, only one boat behind El Raton! And I had many adventures with El Raton, but that is their story to tell. So, a great big thank you to the Ray Lotto and the crew of El Raton for pulling my soggy hide out of Suisun Bay!! Drew Scott Papillon (most of the time)" |

| Author: Jason ([email protected]) contact the author Subject: MAST FOREGUY rig Info: (22698 views) Posted: Wednesday 5-25-05 10:08:17 PM |
The base of the mast is the best place to move the foreguy back to. You can single end or double end it depending on how you intend to sail your boat.
We actually rarely use a foregy. If you move your twings up closer to the shrouds (perpindicular to the shrouds works best) then they will act like the foreguy. The only time we actually use a foreguy is if it is really blowing (>25 knots) or if we are out in the ocean. Doing without the foreguy makes it easier to store the spin pole on the boom and one less thing to fool with when gybing or rounding the corners.
Cheers, Jason
