Just read this thread.
I have spliced and fitted most of the rope work on Aglaia, I have helmed her and sailed on her a few times.
She sails and handles beautifully, the systems from backstay and Cunningham for de-powering the main sail work better than most yachts half her size.
The bow roller down wind sails and staysail systems are a work of art. They can be launched by one man.
The loads are insanely high, the power/speed of the boat is incredible and she is a spectacular looking boat that the owner and crew are very proud of.
Great work by Malcolm McKeon designing her and Vitters in their remarkable engineering.
