Hi Waynemarlow,

So, you are using D12 as side stays? What is your expierence?
I had some time to continue with the rope rigging. Pre stretched the ropes and checked by that the splicing. Since I use double braided ropes, I have to burry all strands. I locked the splice by stitching with a fine waxed rope.

However tensioning the rigg was difficult and I have to say, that I am a bit concerned about the limited stiffness of the sidestays. But only a test sail can prove the concept.

Cheers,

Klaus
