thanks for that info gree, good to know

using a conversion of 2.2 i think my 74kg is about 160lbs and as i'm 6'3" i can get that weight out a little more than most. do you walk out on the dagger board at all?

apparently it is strong enough for it and it would certainly get the weight out where it needs to be

like you i've got a knotted righting rope tied around the forward of the center tramp bar and have been watching this video for how it's done

oh yeah!, i'm not flying hulls with the main cleated, just got to learn to let it out a bit slower until i get a better feel for the balance traveler etc

here's another good 1 at 15sec
