G'day Will,

Why don't you set up the mozzie you have for Mk2(sloop). With some minor adjustment you could then sail it either cat or sloop as the case requires. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />


That's what I've done with mine. Last regatta I sailed 3 races cat rigged and 2 races sloop rigged. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Hi Col,
Would love to do it that way but because the boat was made out of really thin and light marine ply, I dont think the hulls would be able to talk the extra sail.

I was thinking about rigging a kite with this boat but the same thing, to paranoid about destroying the hulls.

G'day Will,

I have a wooden platform (1372) under a tarp in my back yard. This was previously set up as sloop (deck fittings have been removed by previous owner to sail cat rigged). The wood is good but the paint is RS and will need to be repainted before she can be used. I have the centrebhoards (boyer), jib that came with it and a Mk2 bridle.

Let me know if you're interested and I'll give you a call. I could also take some pictures and email them to you.

G day Col,
Could you please send some pics to nswmossie@yahoo.com.au please

Thanks
William

G'day Will,

I'll get her out from under the covers am 14/02 and get some photos. I'll also weigh her and let you know. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Col

G'day Will,

Emailed those photo's today 14/02. I have dial up so it was a bit like trying to shove an elephant through a garden hose, but I think they sent alright. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Let me know if you didn't receive them and I'll have another go. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
