This reminds me of the poor chap who won the Wingnut at Hunts in 2013.

Re: Banbury 2015
Is this a two day event? If so, we could come on the Sunday, we both have to work on the Saturday.

Re: Centre main.
Or just defy convention and go aft main? Tacking and gibing would be easier, given the position if the seat.

I suspect it being so far forward is a large part of the problem. The arrangement I describe above is what I have in m...

Replace the bar with a rope traveller, with the sheet coming from the boom, down through a double and at right angles block which runs along the rope traveller. The sheet then goes back to the boom before coming back to a ratchet in the boat. If you want to you can make the tension (height) of the t...
