This is for David Swingle again- He's still "locked out"!!-



Wouter, I saw your last post on the "spi launching options" thread.

I tried sheeting the spin off the shroud loop and really was uncomfortable

with the way pulled the shroud adjuster way outboard and attempted to bend

the pin, leech still fluttering. So the next iteration, I tied some rope

loops around the front crossbar just inboard of the hulls and I liked this

much better, but still leech flutter. I may go ahead and screw or rivet

eyelets to the xbar further outboard. In my opinion, this is the best

structural attachment. Wouter's last post makes sense about having a sail

built, but for those of us that already have sails is it possible to get the

design dimension from pole end to sheet location from Goodall? This might

help in placement of the sheet location. Otherwise, I had a real blast this

weekend with that thing. I ran thru tons of sets and stuffs in pretty light

air. Practice, practice, practice! I don't think them county boys out at

Lake Tawakoni knew what to make of a cat with a shute!
