Bob,

Thanks for the explanation of the heel factor. I finally got it.

From what we've heard so far, from you and others, the laminate might be a bit too much for our budget (considering also...

Dear Bob, many thanks for your comments. ...

Dear Bob,

many thanks for your comments.

james,

many thanks for moral support. We had better luck on sailnet.com and sailinganarchy.com with our question, where first hand experience was shared, the good and the bad. We are still...

Thank you. Sorry, I just don't get the tone. Is anything wrong when I told you our fastest SOG only "from the top of my head"? That's what I remember and I don't have the log at hand. But perhaps...

Yes and thanks for the link. From the top of my head, SOG sustained for longer period typically 6kn, 6,5kn if the seas are very nice.

Fair enough. Sorry for being unclear that I understand the theory. But no, I am not interested only in "yes I have it, it is great". But to be honest, and I am sure there are plenty of very...

redbopeep, I agree with what you say above "+++". Have I suggested anything about brilliant ideas and magic?

I stay corrected regarding the modernity of ideas: What I meant is, that when our boat...

redbopeep,

thanks for a thorough analysis of the evolution of Dashew's ideas. We don't subscribe to most of it, but the interesting features of the extra roach seemed intriguing. That's why I have...

redbopeep,

The above cited people say it indeed reduces heel. You don't think it does. I have hardly anything to add, perhaps another quote:



You ask me about the goal. We hope to be able to...

Richard,

sorry, the quote is a little misleading, because the argument follows previous discussion about hollow leech sail. It ends, later in the chapter from which I quotes with discussion about nearly 700mm...

Many thanks for your commetns.

Ours is 1974 Monsun, not the new 31. The backstay naturally has an adjuster. The rigging has been surveyed by us. It showed signs of aging, cracked and bent swages,...

Richard,

main reason is to get more sail area (sorry I'm not a native English speaker, I thought that "beef up our sail area" means exactly that).
