| 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)" |

How far does your current jib track extend past the chainplates? The #3 typically sheets in just aft of the chainplates. The #4, depending on hos it is cut, will sheet in maybe 6 inches forward of the chainplates. If you tell me how far your tracks extend in front of the chainplates we can design a 75% or 80% #4 to sheet in properly to your tracks. Then you would not have to modify anything on your boat. It will simply vary the location of the clew on the #4.
Cheers, Jason
:: Does anyone have a photo of how the added jib track
:: sits?
