Spirit of Wray 0 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Has any one setup a solent or an inner forestay on a Cav 32? Contemplating this mod as eventually we'll head offshore Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alibaba 84 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Not on a Cav 32, but I have a similar setup on my Lotus 9.2. Inner forestay goes to Solent worm drive thingy. I'm sure there is a proper technical term for it. The Solent drive is shackled to the deck and then tightened to requirement with the worm drive handle. I have a roller furling genoa, but I've used the solent two or three times to come home when the wind has been 25 with a smaller hanked jib because of course the furler sets like a used bedsheet when you have several rolls in it. The boat seems to like the arrangement and it only takes a couple of minutes to fit up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Plato 13 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Do you have any photos or sketches as to how you have configured? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
