I have just hauled the new reacher up the mast and at mast head it wants a prod out the 1.400 mm from the bows. Is this too far. I was thinking more like a meter.
mate, i don't have the knowledge to answer your questions, in fact i generally struggle to understand the questions...
i think i can work out what a "reacher" is, and if i'm right on that i can hazard a guess at you mean by "prod" but when i get to "1.400mm" the number of variables becomes so great i just abandon the whole thing
surely you mean 1.4meters or 1,400mm?
as to comparing the tigercat to a hobie 17 have you compared race ratings, portsmith, texel etc?
