Frickie 9 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Anyone got a 'spare' boom for a 930 lying around? Wild Oats would like a one piece version.... the two piece experiment proved to be slower on the second half of the Gold Cup race..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Slower . . . .? Could the speed reduction be described as "catastrophic"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frickie 9 Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 Lower speed reduction than the last time I lost a mast. Let's say it was "significant" in slowing our progress. Still hit 10 knts on jib (brand new sail, a nice black #3) down the back of Waiheke but not sure that configuration was right for the tight reach back to town. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
