Tornado rigs?

What is the difference between a sport and classic tornado rig?
Pictures appreciated.

thanks

spin and square top main as I understand

The sport has;
more mainsail area
self tacking jib
carbon mast
2nd trapeze
spinnaker & pole

The sport has sex appeal
The classic has a pinna

here are the sports

Classic

Sport

Hollow wood foils are beautiful! Marstrøm really had something good there!

Who are sailing the classic in the pics above. Simon and Mitch?

Mitch and Forbes

Well spotted Rolf; looks like a lurvly boat.

John is just as competitive now as he was back then!

Would that be a Landenberger or Piggot kite John is running there?

It's a Landy approx 4 seasons old. The main is also a Landy and probably the same age = not the big head which he is currently producing.

I must confess to having a couple of Strongbows tonight but now when I look at this photo 118 118 springs to mind. (it's a UK joke regarding a TV commercial)

For those of you who haven't fallen asleep yet here's a photo of the 2008 ex-Olympic Tornado mainsheet system. Maybe in years to come we'll all be using cascade systems within the boom!

Do you have a hi res image of the first of the Tornado wave jumpers?
That is just a wonderful thing.

I've got your number!

Let your fingers do the walking!
& back to T rigs here's a shot up the big stick. Mastrom mast new Ulman main. I'm presuming the rig tension is on!!

Interesting picture. Any insight on the purchase inside the boom? I'm guessing the dyneema line is routed around a block on the front of the boom and the yellow line pulls its end backward via a floating block?

Assuming something simple like this, 8/1 would be the purchase at the block at the end of the boom, but as the line is coming back to the beam it's adding another length to pull: 9/1?

I can't be positive but it's probably between 12-15 to 1, I think the beauty of this internal cascade system is the extra purchase for less residual sheet and also the cost.
How it actually works has been explained to me but unfortunately I was at the bar at the time so now I haven't a clue <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Probably find it is actually 9:1 or 10:1. But much reduced windage at the rear of the boat

dug this up from the files. Before someone says it's there's thanks for blablabla : )
