In Topic: Book on rigging?

18 March 2013 - 04:35 AM

And I have a few copies sitting in my shed doing nothing. Perhaps its e-bay time...

RIg your Dinghy Right. It has tons of line systems and innovative methods of fitting. Many of these systems would scale up with modern lines, equipment and with the hipro sail systems that have scaled up from planing dinghies. Excellent book!

Thanks to Heriberto, I just received a copy of this in the mail. It cost, even used, a pretty penny (what's a penny anyway?), at $30 US nearly double the price stated on the back cover. And starts at (gasp) $110 new at Amazon. Still, even at 3/16 inch in thickness, it's densely packed with information and photographs (B&W only) and makes a perfect companion to Sail & Rig Tuning. © 1994 it's nearly 2 decades old, but generally seems fairly current. It focuses mostly on 5O5, I14, 420, 470 and FD designs.


In Topic: Fastest accelerating dinghy?

The deceleration of a moth going down the mine after a main foil ventilation is more than any acceleration I have had on the boat...

Our family had a seaway 25 too, nice little boat. I guess we had it when I signed up with SA, hence the screen name!

Get well soon Doug.

In Topic: 3Do knee pads

How do you guys who have tried them think they will go on small, wet boats?

My Knees get smashed on light air days in the Moth and have worn knee pads in the past with some benefits...

cheers
