Posts: 263 SC | Yup, I was on the ground crew for Mike Krantz for that Tybee 500. I think it's a neat system but you should contact Mike krantz at layline or David Lennard on here for their opinions. I helped with the boat but they used them. BTW that's Mike and David in the picture on that site.
Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect it back.

Posts: 2,921 Michigan | The rope and cleat method works well enough around the bouys (it was one of our initial designs), but for long distance racing, it was not an option. Just a little creep, or line settling in the cleat was enough to generate significant weather helm. It also was not as quick to raise and lower the blade to clear weeds. Yeah, I second that. Any creep causes it to get heavy. However, with a 2:1 purchase on low stretch high tech line it isn't too much of a problem. You can get a lot of pull on them. You can clearly tell when it has slipped a little though. | | | Re: Dotan Rudder System?
