Everybody
any details on the spi halyard along the jib luff route? That is mighty interesting!
It is, but I'm already on the edge of what I can say in public. This guy wants to make an impression on the upcoming F16 Global Challenge and has tweaked out his boat to do exactly that. I think it is most wise to not elaborate on this setup till after the Global Challenge so he can make maximal use of his "invention". Afterward is a different matter of course !
But basically what I wanted to say with it is that F16 sailors still have some way to go to optimize the boats. And we should all be getting into that and progress the F16 performance just as the A-cat sailors have done with their boats (and are still doing).
