I did this on my columbia, I used a piece of g-10 tubing with an ID big enough for the dyneema, and an OD big enough to distribute the load. side to side. It's glued in nicely and has never given me any trouble.

I have one of these Promariner FS60. seems like small money for what it does. https://www.defender.com/product.jsp?id=1353701 Now Isolation Transformers - that's where you can start to spend real money, especially if (like me) you have two 30amp circuits coming in. Promariner doesn't even make those anymore.

Can I network two Zeus2 plotters? GoFree WiFi?

that's an old video. as long as you have the latest firmware, you can definitely upload the route via sd card. -

run it backwards. no chatter, easily controllable, takes only marginally longer, and if the holes aren't perfectly round who cares? hey'll be under the track anyway. the important part is giving enough surface area for the butyl tape.

Can ORR/ORR-EZ Rating System allow diversity?
ryley replied to AClass USA 230's topic in Sailing Anarchy
Let's tackle hulls first. Yes, it's true that ez does a 'build a boat' based on photos, literature, and any other sources of data they can when there isn't a hull file. But they don't do this in a vacuum, and the results of the vpp are checked against existing ratings to make sure that the results seem reasonable. It's still better than PHRF and less expensive than having your hull measured (especially given the lack of official measurers in the US). But the generated hull files are hardly "fake numbers." Secondly, sails are measured whenever possible, and when they aren't they are assume -

Also, did you miss the post where I said that ORA is right now rating a sprint 850 to race against monohulls? What about cat ketches? t
