Thanks Gree2056,

I've not mentioned how to transport the F12 yet but it is under consideration.

I would really like to keep the hulls, beams and tramp attached at all times as then rigging and unrigging will be very easy indeed. I'm hoping that a 12x6 foot platform will be small enough to be left fully assembled. It will pass through a gate I'm sure, especially if the gate is low and the boat is on top of the car. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Seriously I'm thinking about a setup where the dolly remains under the sterns of the boat while it is loaded onto and off the car. The bow can then be layed on rollers fitted to the roofrack and the boat can be push onto the roof by the rearbeam while lifting only 15 kg as the bows/rollers carry the other 15 kg. In the garage the platform could be hoisted to the roof with roofrack remaining attached.

Stuff like that. It is under consideration.

Again the rigging is very simple, currently there are no pins or rings. Blocks stay on the sail and boom and you only need to run the sheet through the blocks after stepping the mast with sail.




Plain dacron will hold up for many years despite heavy abuse.
