For any questions on the 26S always refer to Sumner, if he hasn't done it to his boat it aint worth doin and i don't think there is an inch of a 26S that he doesn't know.

Re: Blue Hull Scratches

It's no good trying to take the Blue off, you have to purchase the faster white hulled model to get the speed :) :)

Re: FUN FUN FUN

I changed (what i thought was) up from a 26s to a 26x, i have to say i realy miss the performance, handling and fun that i got from my old S, i wish i could afford to have two, the X for stayin on at weekend with the better half and an S for fun.

Re: Furling Genoa,, installing

If you don't mind me giving a tip? put up a safety line from the top of your mast to the roller on the front just in case the CDI comes apart.

The only reason i say this is because ,mine came apart twice and the only way the mast can go is down onto the seating area.
