Hey all,
Back in NZ on Cinderella and looking at upgrading her sail management systems.
As luck would have it, I have a-spinnaker and a facnor furler that used to be on Web Chiles’ one toner.
I’m hoping to add a sprit ( I also have a length of carbon tube I got with the furler)
I’m looking for any advice/gotchas before I go through the steps.
Sure would be great to get rid of that big aluminum tube we have carried around forever for the light sails...
Do you guys think I need bobstays? Cinderella’s fine bow does not lend itself to adding supports with very efficient angles. I already have a sizeable backing plate at the bow that should handle the shear stress of the compression loads. Just need to come up with some sort of fitting that the carbon tube can butt up against.
From the looks of things, if I take the roll bar off my mantis anchor, it should fit up there quite nicely still.
Mark? I know you fitted something similar on Lotus Flower, what’s your take?
