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: Bryan Myers Subject: Floating jib leads Info: (14870 views) Posted: Tuesday 4-22-14 09:55:43 PM |
i was planning on taking mine all the way to the aft pulpit like the spinnaker sheet. I'm thinking that if its to close to the lead then the floating lead will not define where the sheet is sheeted from.
:: Don - I had some pictures of a few of the options so
:: consolidated into a little presentation for you with
:: some my thoughts.
::
:: Would be really interested to get other people's views
:: as I may not be aware of other alternatives or all the
:: pros/cons that are out there.
::
:: I am hoping we can get pictures / commentary on a number
:: of systems (forestay fine tune, backstay, main sheet,
:: trav, etc....), consolidate and share as a reference for
:: people looking to make changes and for out of town boats
:: who dont have alot of other examples to look at.
::
:: Hope this helps.

:: :: If so does anyone have pics or a description of what
