You can modify to use the old system very easily - if I owned one I would. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Posts: 297 | I have a new one too. The whole Main-boom-clew set-up on the new Infusion is a little bit strange IMHO. (Saving weight or money or both?)

Posts: 297 | The stock rig is not durable enough, and I'd rather have an outhaul that I don't need to worry about. At our regatta 2 infusions sliced through the spectra outhaul 3 times. Granted, it was blowing 25 the first day. Suffice it to say that I will be changing mine as soon as I figure out the best mod. I have never seen th old system. Can somebody hip me to the design?
