Just so everyone understands the very frustrating launch, this is the newer Infusion rig...

This was over 1 hour or work. Boat had to be flipped twice to look at the issue, finally flipped the boat to lock the ring on the hook.

Not using a bowline, so we are getting max hoist.

With the hook that swivels do you need to notch the headboard so the headboard does not turn the hook when at max hoist hoisting? it looks like the top of the headboard actually can turn the hook when it hits the bottom
of the "floating" hook.

I have sailed cats since 1991 and I have never had a locking issue as bad as this one with any of the rigs I have ever owned.
