Ireland certainly weren't as bad as England !!!

Back to the thread, recently there was a picture of F16 with an adjustable diamond wire mechanism rather like the A class. What exactly are the benefits to the A's and why not the F16's ?. I also wonder if we shouldn't be just a hauling on the downhaul as well as the diamond wires simultaneously as it would make the whole process of bending the mast much easier ? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
