Alan's favourite pics



Hi. Look Ma no backstay!!! This is our new mast from Forte with spanking new North 3DL rags. The asso was designed by North. We gave them the measurements and the only instructions were "gybing angles between M24 and J80". We sailed the new rig and sails for 5 days with the last day blowing up to 25-28kts (photo day). We were amazed with the range the asso had. From super deep to almost close hauled. We added a foot (5 to 6ft) to the sprit extension. The combination of the larger sail and the extra foot on the sprit neutralized the helm so even at 15-16kts there was zero helm.
