I was running maintenance on the boat up until Doug chartered it back. The new draft will be right around 18' or so, designed so it would have the same righting moment without the hit from the canting keel. Rig and everything else will be kept the same, for the time being at least. Plan is to...

I can't judge the size that well, maybe the boards for the new seacart

I talked to Rob a while back about the 10.6, which was also built outta wood. Fairly certain its just a cost saving measure

Jerome, If I can get a sail on hull #1 soon enough and built at a reasonable time, I would be glad to sail in the TP, but not sure it can happen in at a reasonable time

Might work, but boats that were sailing offshore would probably be better as they would be optimized for the conditions, especially for an A2 which is used for most of the TP

That's spot on for the most part

looks like it requires some acrobatics to get in

Magnum 747, thread on it here

Crush, sounds like you have improperly sized halyards or improperly spec'd hardware. Spinlock clutches shouldn't and don't normally slip if properly matched up for the loads, lines, etc.

well I suppose you could try using a line coating like maxi jacket or rp25, I know they were originally designed for abrasion resistance, but it's possible they would help with your problem as well

I would think major pain in the ass, but my knowledge about wings is limited

there ya go, or below deck if possible

Well, I think the standard SA welcome is in order. Fuck off newb and buy an ad.

1. use search function 2. use banks harness

maybe it's more effective, I wouldn't say cleaner though

headsail

not too sure I like the sheeting system, I would think they could have come up with something cleaner

I know it isn't, easy setup was my unclear way of noting the reduced damage to chutes (allows launching from wherever), haven't checked stats on component failure, but there are more moving parts

Weight is comparable to standard carbon mast. Boat structure has to be increased. Things need to be led to the mast. Different electronic set up. Good downwind (easy setup, better when reaching). More expensive So overall, looks like it's a little more difficult than some sailors would...

it's pretty much the standard for what you just described
