This brings up a question that I had about how stiff should the boat be. Specifically, should I be trying to shim the corner casting to hull strut joint to eliminate movement or is a little bit desirable. My boat is a late seventies H16. The frame is very rigid with the trampoline on but there is a very little bit of motion between the frame corners and hull struts.
Stiffer the platform the better if you're racing. If not, meh.
Look at the A's, they get rid of as much slop as physically possible. Flex is energy lost.
