Posts: 291 | I'd you were to draw an imaginary line between the two spinaker blocks on either hull I I am trying to get a measurement between that line and the end of the spin pole on a Tiger running the newer size/cut spinaker.

Posts: 606 League City, TX | Collin's 18sx runs a Tiger rig. I bet he's trying to get his spin blocks in the same relative position as the Tiger so the sheeting angle is the same?
Im just guessing here... Ding ding ding - we have a winner. I spoke to him yesterday and we will do side by side comparisons of a Tiger F-18 kite on his boat and a Tiger at our next regatta in 2 weeks. This should help him land the best block placement for a good sheeting angle. Chris. | | | Re: F18 measurement

Posts: 291 | I was hoping to get an idea of where the blocks will have to be so that I can rig something before the regatta like a barberhauler or something to increase the odds of using the new chute at this regatta but we may just have to wait.
