Hi PTP,
Is the mast a Riba carbon mast?
Yes
...boat problem of easily dented skin
The previous owner tested it already twice... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> But not deep enough to take care at moment. Maybe later when I add some other dents and it looks like a golf ball...
Have you noticed the rear beam digging in?
Well, it was off shore wind, hence no waves. To my surprise the boat is not as sensitive to fore-aft weight trim as I suspected from the hull shape, but it was only my 70kg. Officially it can carry up to 255kg... I will post my first strong wind expierence with this boat, when I dare to sail then.
Looks like the rudder set up on the X16 is the same as on the HT. If you want to know a great and easy way to make them simpler with an easier pull down method let me know.
Yes seems to be the same. Thanks for the offer, I would indeed appreciate if you could tell me your modification.
Cheers,
Klaus
