I reckon the funniest thing about this thread is the fact that there is so much discussion about the boring part (simple strut system to control pole tip flex) and nothing about the interesting detail in the initial photo...

But you seem to be enjoying the banter so carry on <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />






















Why would you paint a boat that colour if it was going to China in very hot conditions.....?


Hey, we enjoy the banter, and good to see you back here.

And China at the time is just brutal temp wise.

But the paint job same as what was used by Pete Melvin (guessing/conjecture so Wouter won't like one bit) at the recent A-Cat worlds. Some new hi-tech thingymejig to help lower water friction or something. Was mentioned in Seahorse magazine recently explaining the qualities etc etc. Boat certainly felt different compared to normal paint jobs. Wasn't across the whole boat, just the bits in the water. Couldn't take any stickers in those sections, just fell off.

So what do I win if I guessed right? Something from your desk?
