if you are using a bobstay dont forget that the pole may load up in the opposide direction ie down. we snapped a pole recently (set up like the...
this is fun isnt it, from a design point of veiw. out with the old, in with the new. new potential for development in various areas that were not...
doug, i knew you would be first post on this mate. nup i have no numbers, in lieu of a hull. and i really like trial and error, as you know. i was...
i've sailed on all the stealth 8ms in existence, and the 7.8, and for a floating caravan, they offer the best internal volume to speed ratio i've...
