Replaced the factory backstay with a new Backstay Tensioner from Blue Water Yachts. Makes pinning the CDI RF easy, just loosen the backstay and raise with the mast raising winch (I have the new style). The RF easily lines up with the forestay tang hole without any fighting or downward pressure. Can be done by one person.

    I liked the Boom-less sail on the F22 Tri I had purchased plans for so I contacted a Sail-Maker and was able to convert my Main sail into a dual purpose sail. So I can now use it with or without the boom. It makes it easier to set up and nicer in the...
