A nice pic of the boat i crew on taken during last Thursdays twilight race

Regards Don

Keep them coming Don

Well spotted Seabird

We use three head sails , the original dacron one that goes on the furler that we use when it is blowing hard, and 2 larger (to big to fit on the furler) Doyle Stratis Ice head sails (battened so they don't furl) that are the same size, that run up the foil on the furler, attach a hard point on the deck and to the top bearing on the furler and have to be dropped on the foredeck when we put a spinnaker up

The lighter one is rated at 0 to 14 knots and the second heavier one is rated at 6 knots and above

The one shown on the boat in this photo is the heavy one

These photo's show the attachment point

Regards Don

so does the handicapper know about these " larger sails " Donk ?

Hi Sands

Unfortunately she does

This is the start times for tomorrow nights twilight race and i have listed the boat types

I think that we will be the fastest boat sailing tomorrow (I don't think the 40 footers will be sailing) so we get 60 mins of sailing time to catch the rest of the fleet

All I can say is that you are a dreadful tease, Donk

Lovely....keep the photos coming. One day I WILL move to Tasmania
