Darn, now I really have to get on with my boat !

Eric has taken delivery, Marc will within 11 days and my shipment of carbon rudders and stocks will leave Australia later today or maybe tomorrow.

It is time for me to get sailing.

The answer I can give to the questions are :

1. How is the spinnaker and the mid-pole snuffer
rigged? Photos or diagrams would be very helpful. I
need to figure out how to run the halyard and how to
brace the pole.

Pole slides over the protrusion on the mast step or is fitted with a pin if you have the new mastfoot.

Pole has wires running from the tip to the little holes in the bow. Then there is a 3rd line or wire that attached to the pole right under the bridle wire intersection and that runs up to the same intersection. This line hold the pole up and gives it just a little bit of prebend.

Where and how to place the snuffer I don't know you'll have to ask AHPC for the dimensions I do have a few picures that I will post later on.

With regard to the spi. I haven't received mine yet so I don't know. I do know that the AHPC retrieval system runs differently trhough or over the spi than others.



2. What is a good starting point for the spreader
rake--they were off the mast for shipping.


I seem to remember an inch behind the mast track. Tension a line between the ens of both spreaders and it should pass an inch to the rear of the sailtrack.


3. How are the dagger pull up lines rigged?

very simple. You have two line. Tie a knot in each line and run them trhough the board. Fit the boat in its well and let the line fall in the little canal which is present in the board. Now run the line through the guiding eye. Do the same for the other side. Now you'll ahve two lines lying on your tramp. Tie these to each other.

Now if you are sailing and the baords are down and you round the A-mark, you go to the centre of the trampoline grap the line in the middle and jank it to the back. The boards will move up to their downwind positions. soem 15 to 20 centimeter is than still under the hull. To land you'll need to pull them up higher by hand.



4. What is the line through the front crossbar that
exits at each end though a roller (barberhauler?)? There also a small line tied to it and running through the
beam--what is it for?

5. What is the line attached to the underside of each
end of the front crossbar and attached to a small
bungey? Righting line? How is it held up?

6. Is the pin in the mast step left in or removed
while sailing?


Removed. I saw what happened to geerts boat when his mast fell and his mast base plate broke. best is to remove the pin while sailing and put it back when lowering the mast.


7. How hard should the beam bolts be torqued?


???? AHPC ?

Please post or send me privately any photos, instruction, advice, tips, etc you've got!


I will and I will make a webpage out of it at the same time. But you'll have to wait some 24 hours for this. Sorry.


Good luck !
