    You forgot to start your comment with "in my opinion". If sailing a one design does it for you - then go for gold. You could also argue that people that sail one design don't have the skills or knowledge to develop and sail a one off design that does not have a 50 page tuning guide telling them...

    Is the SMS Rule Broken, I Think NOT

    I spoke to the ratings manager at sailing.org.au and stability is going to part of the CBH measurement process for the 2023/24 season.

Based on our experience with this sail, I would be more than confident to now do a 3DI version...

    I have never really needed to demount the boat very often. The last time we did it we had two guys on each end of the Ama and one guy holding the beam steady when it slotted in or out of the main hull. The ama and beams weigh 200kg. With a few systems you could do it manually with a couple of...
