Hit a turtle and busted the centreboard case today! Nearly sank the port hull. Bugger, now have to decide whether to do a quick and dirty repair or do it properly which involves cutting the old one out and installing new cases...

On a bright note, the kite has been fitted and works like a charm. Haven't raced with it yet though so no indication of relative performance yet.

What systems are out there for getting rid of all the messy lines off the tramp, at the moment they keep getting tangled? Sheets, halyard/retrieval, tack line.
