One Designs can be built by many builders. Factory One Design is the concept that would lead one to believe that every boat shout be identical.
we broke our comptip off at he bottom. i fixed it with epoxy.
stuffed 2 windsurfer mast tips in there and made a socket to fit the alu at the hounds. the new tip is 6" shorter and stiffer than original. still too soft in my opinion tho. Had to modify the saill as well- no rules to follow out here. it's tapered so when i tip over i quickly point the mast tip to windward and have plenty time to rig the righting pole. i don't do the power righting and believe the first priority is swimming the bows around, getting the mast tip into the wind.
