You're right about the Hobie setup, Sam,100%. I'm familiar with your 17 rotator. I copied the design for my 17, since I forgot how Mike Murphy had exactly rigged it when I first met you. However, The 5.5 over rotator faces forward, is pulled aft and lateral down to the crossbar and cleated. It takes more strength to keep the rotation arm pulled back to OVERrotate than most bungee is capable of. Glad you're gonna make the race. Looks like we're gonna have a BIG crowd(for us), expecting 40+ boats, and still getting interest and committments. Have a 5 boat G-CAT 5.0 class, and the Hobie 18 MAG fleet is gonna show up in force too. Good prizes, Live Band, and FREE BEER too. Gonna bring your 17 and take on the Murphy boys or bringing your 18sq and race me and the Supercats?
