Christian and others,
I think we've about sorted things out as far as I concerned on R&D for now.
I'm pretty satisfied with the newer caps shroud adjusters, the forestay
fittings and the other fittings on the boat. It is clear that we need to
update
the parts list as the old one had parts required to convert 49er masts
included and lacked some of the newest ideas. We've now learned that
carbon/kevlar
backing plates work just fine on the cap shrouds and I'll be updating the
rigging manual soon to include them and the fitting-less trapeze to mast
attachment system. In addition I'll include the fitting-less cap shroud to
mast
attachment system. These item all meet the faster / cheaper / better rule.
Builders,
I'm getting some questions about anticipated launch dates and how many.
Would everyone who plans to launch this summer or fall check in with a status
report--when you plan to launch. Let me know how I can help you get done
faster.
Best regards,
Bram
