Hi Mar

sure -you could use a continuous line between the two stay adjusters ,---but you want to restrict the amount of rig cant ,--thus the stopper knots .

John P may have developed a better system than I described -have not seen the Stealth system yet -
He is very innovative with an excelent line of cats

One other nice feature of this canted rig adjuster set up is righting the cat --just as per B R designed into the supercats with the stay extender mechanism ,-have a SC 15 -they work great ,--the adjustable stays allow the same thing to occur to assist and make righting easier --ideal for a singlehander also or smaller crew that have trouble righting .

Tryed an A frame rig with mast base on traveler at the same time Chris White did --shown here

but would rec -the simpler adjuster blocks at the stay bases be added ,--not too difficult to set up ,--but more lines to pull and adjustments to learn if added -
and more to potentially break -
The advantages for distance racing seem very benificial where you can set the rig and sail for hours with increased speed potential and lift .

The dual -2 masted rig --via mini Parlier design -for the transAtlantic attempt in Dec has the masts canted in slightly towards one another ,-the windward main dropped when the wind is up as reef system --leaving the canted to windward mast in higher winds ,--should have similar benifits though not adjustable .

The transatlantic attempt is insane ,--but I would love to try it along with em ,-given the right 20 ft cat and prep ,along with an unlimited budget -/sponsor -

look for Mike and Dave in the 1000 this year -
They will have some great legs And win a couple -
and the whiley veteran on the 6/0 Rick and Brandy to win some also showing the real potential of the 6/0 hull.

Hope the weather and seas are kind again this year for em
good luck to all the teams and gr crews -
