What is the deal with safely running the brace? I've heard stories of wrapping the pole around the forestay, or breaking the forestay... Assume you gentle ease the pole onto the forestay, then let it rip?
Never had a problem. The kite normally collapses as soon as you hoist the jib if you are beam reaching. If you have room try and run down wind and smother it behind the main. In either case I usually just smoke the brace (it's ok if it runs all the way through), gather the foot in then drop the halyard. Do everything from the cockpit and drop into the aft hatch. Never ever tie knots in your kite sheets!

Every Y88 that started completed the course. Nautique finished and got a result but Driving Force was outside the time limit.The only '88 to finish - Sweeny Todd!

Yep - had a good burst just touched 11.0 side by side with Gale Force on AP ???? Bit of carnage going on behind & I didn't want to become part of it...GF pulled ahead under 2 sail and I ended up having a good battle with Space Station to the finish. Thanks to all involved for putting together a great opening weekend for the series. Looking forward to seeing everyone out for the next race at RYC on the 1st.HnH about to roll over the cat. and sail out of view from us, however the rest are coming into view now

Hi Adrian,
I know you raised this a while ago but I was just wondering which type of exhaust elbow you went with and how has it performed over the last couple of years?
Thanks.
