erice 281 Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 a certain light-weight multi guru friend of mine keeps commenting that the rig on capricorn has far too much windage, stays + diamonds, for such a short rig i always tell him it's a trimaran with more beam than the designer recommended and a square-head so fat, the sail's almost rectangular it doesn't lie down to dump invisible monster gusts it just spits the rig off after 2 normalish rigs exited stage right belts + braces has stayed the course am hoping the fwd diamond takes the place of an inner forestay..

MartinRF 10 Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 I hope the outer diamonds are fixed to the spreader tips. It is not unusual to overlook this important detail. It does not replace an inner forestay but is important anyway. The actual staying does not look overdone to me but there is a lot of other things adding clutter and drag. Lazyjacks, halyards etc, some of which will be out of the way when sailing. /Martin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
