Just remembered seeing this pole in the first Comanche sailing video. Does it look like what you'd expect to be plugged into that receiver?

The pole for the AVS test is normally attached to the edge of the deck. You are trying to create the biggest lever arm possible.

What I meant to ask is: was this pole just borrowed for the stability test or could it be the reaching strut ctutmark is suggesting?

A reaching strut is used to improve the angle of they guy(brace) from the winch to the end of a spinnaker pole. Commanche, does not have a spin pole so it can not be for that.

An out rigger is used to change the lead of a headsail sheet. RRS do not allows outriggers. The NOR does not amend this as I can see. Also just a weird position to use an out rigger.

Nopt sure how, my bet would be it has something to do with the functionality of it being a deck stepped rig.

Not part of the mast jack assembly? Being deck stepped need to have the jacking bar etc some where

Perhaps somewhere for a "shroud" board to attach when removing the rig, this thing is going to spend a lot of time on ships with the rig out.

There is probably a specific name for the board that the shrouds attach to when the rig is out of the boat. Anyone know what it is?

i am NOT suggesting there is a reaching strut

but has anyone considered if there was a purpose designed 'record beaker' doing a verified passage run, as described in the WSSRC rules, the isaf RRS don't matter shit

take the schooner Atlantic for example .. or

Comanche

More commonly known as the bit O wood you shove up the butt of the mast to attach the shrounds to on small boats like a J24 while trailering it.

This beastie I am pretty sure they have enough man power to take off shrouds and spreaders for shipping.

Did anyone get a photo of the mast on the barge when it arrived in Sydney?

This is not what this fitting is generally designed for.

The jack bar probably fits in the fitting above this with the screws in it. (Usual slide through the rig style)

nope - but it looked like this the day after

Great Video.

Great to see Abbo been proven correct about the Comanches spinnaker too. Some of you clowns need to give him a bit more respect by the looks.

Also that A5 on comanche in the video isn't getting better with age. It actually phyisically hurts my eyes to look at that shit sail. Someone messed up big time on that one. The new kite looks nice tho.

I vote for outrigger for passage records.

 

[MR.CLEAN]

certainly a necessary bit for max downwind love.

She carries enough beam at the ass end not to need em... would be surprised if they helped the top end.

 

[ctutmark]

I am going with a whisker pole as defined by 50.3.c

That's why they added the 'Keith'...

jib outriggers

Butt spreaders ..... note: not for use on other SA members. Okay some of them then
