Well thanks for the reply.
High aspect screecher more like.
I have been busy cutting up broken $2,000 cf bike frames to mate with my spin pole in interesting ways. So far I have a couple of braces and and mounting for my roller furler. Pics soon. Helicopter parts were returned to father in law when he saw what I was about to do with them (drive shafts for tail rotor).
I have a beautiful anodized black new mast with all new fittings. Complete article. It makes a big difference. The whole boat is alive under this new canvas and stick. The flickr photos are still up and more accessible. Will post video when I get it.
Interesting what you say re the mast. It is quite heavy vs the Prindle 19 mast say. Still the boat seems little different in weight to the latest and greatest. I stuck with it because I had it, I like it and saw no point in changing to another 20ft design. I make the best of the time I have to go sailing and rally it's just a plaything. I will race long distance next year for sure whilst considering alternate, additional boats. I wil se how quick my son's come along. All I can say is that being back on cats is a lot more fun than running/ racing our J105 (Ex Kat's Meow) and much easier on the funds. I spent more on sails in a season than I have in the entire NA and have 10X fun without any of the earache. That's a bargain!!
Doubt whether we have met. Boat has been stored for 10 years in a warehouse whilst I raced motorcycles or sailed the J.
What the 'eck was that all about?
I am ex Stokes Bay in the UK and used to go all over racing my NA back then as well as crewing on Tornados.
