Re: Downhaul fitting

Hi Brian,
Yes that is the one. I could not find it - it is funny that it is in a separate section ( ropes and lines) where as the standard one is under blocks and cleats. Sorry to have missed it but it would be good to have the options in the same section of your website.
Regards
Bob

Re: Downhaul fitting

The picture of the arrangement was in the Summer 2002 magazine page 14. It also lists examples of the parts used.
I'll scan it and send Liam a copy to post on the web site.

Re: Downhaul fitting

Sorry I missed this post. Yes we authorised a much better (optional) 3:1 arrangement with turning blocks and cam cleats many moons ago. It is covered in out rules section 10 amendment "j) Downhaul - Three to one assembly with cleating and turning blocks" Many boat have this set-up. Windspo...

Re: py on 2 man racing

Kev, Yes Liam is correct BUT if you are not sailing in a Sprint 15 event and sailing in a Catamaran Event under the SCHRS handicaps the double handed Sprint 15 has a slightly different rating to the single handed boat.

Re: Buy and sell page

My word. Our secondhand boats have been flying off the shelf (or the website). This bodes well for the fleet activities...

PS This would be a good time for those that have a Sprint 15 they are not using to advertise it, if they want a quick sale.

Brian Phipps

Did anyone see the Channel 4 programme on Devon and Cornwall last night at 8pm? There was a long bit on Brian Phipps hang gliding with his brother. He can still do it after a 30 year lay off. You can get it on catch-up.
Nice one, Brian :D

Re: Mainsail hook on mast

Another thought. Make sure that the knot on the halyard ring is on the aft side of the ring when you shackle it to the head of the sail.

Re: Latest NEWSPRINT out now!

Just got mine. What a fantastic magazine in a time that there has been no sailing for 3 months. Well done to Yvonne and all the contributors. Nice to see some gems from Phil Breeze too.
I wonder how many classes can put out such a magazine to their members?
