Absolution 7 Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Very nice! Trying to figure out what the two lines inside the cabin with all the purchase are used for. Hard to see from the pics but I'm guessing they are used for rotating the prod??? Link to post Share on other sites

Hard to see from the pics but I'm guessing they are used for rotating the prod??? I think that's right but WT will obviously confirm. I wasn't paying much attention to the sailing of the boat, more taking pics and trying to keep out of the way! Link to post Share on other sites

And thanks to Richard with Cool Change for the loan of his spare main. Yeah, the lines in the cabin are prt/stb cant for the prod. That system is a little stiff though, might have to invent a rev. B for that.....! Otherwise everything seemed to work pretty well. Nice day for a sail. Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 What about that dodgy mainsheet trimmer - reckon I've seen him on another Y8.4! Link to post Share on other sites

Kiteroa 8 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Thanks for the flattering pics Rob. Thanks for the ride. Next time I'll get some of you underway from AC. We'll do a winter series race with GH this coming weekend before we start with Weiti the week after. If you're keen for that, come out. Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 OK, I'll let you know how I'm fixed. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
Kiteroa 8 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Awesome day for a sail up at GH today. Nice big Easterlie swell coming in and about 18-20 kts of breeze. Dropped WT off a few big waves on the beats. Hard enough to feel I had to have a quick check down stairs. But no issues with the boat. Lost some rig tension as our lashing bedded in, and managed to damage our nice carbon #3 through a slight over sight rounding the bottom mark, but otherwise all good!

Fogg 427 Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Cool. And how did you position at this early stage? Link to post Share on other sites
Kiteroa 8 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Cool. And how did you position at this early stage? DNF! We didn't see the headstay was slack as we wound luff on the jib before we rounded the bottom mark, so as we came around the jib took way too much load on the luff.....and pulled the tack patch out of the sail. It was the only jib we had for the conditions unfortunately. We tried to go with the #4, but had foil issues, maybe damage from the #3 incident. So after fluffing about with that for a while we decided we were content with what we'd learned so far and went to the bar Link to post Share on other sites
