Finally had the boat out in breeze over the weekend. Its a fantastic platform! Much better reaching than anything I've been on before and the overall stiffness is fantastic.

Definitely sorting out a few rigging things, the mainsail hook was a pain day 1 to get hooked but day 2 was fine, the jib halyard hook is goofy (never really liked that system), and I have a few spinnaker issues to work out.

My number one issue there is it all seems to bunch up at the hoop when dousing and is much harder to douse than others I've used in the past (Nacra midpole snuffer on the N20). Spinnaker is new and slick but I didn't McLube the hoop. The second issue is the tackline needs to be re-rigged per the manual, its not under tension when tight which makes it impossible to blow.
