Finally, altough there are a hundred more <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> I will get them put in a bucket or somewhere <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />.

Payback on Danny, he knows why <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />. It's not as bad as it could have been Danny, I could have shown the next shot where you hit the mark and the mossies go passed <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />. Greg got the whole sequence and more <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />.

Blade 404, Viper 113 and Taipan 334 appear to have very similar sails. Are this the new Taipan big head main?

This is something I haven't seen before - looks like the rear footstrap is a piece of hose tied to the rudder stock. Avoids any drilling. Anyone else doing this?

Actually Mark - if you look closely they have a 25mm webbing just above the blue chicken line....thats the foot strap.

This photo was taken before the start of the afternoon racing & they were sailing a bit higher to get some good action for the photos & hence the reason for not using the chicken line or the footstrap.

Every thing was going pear shaped at that time. Happy if you post will show everyone how not to sail an F16 <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The Viper had Greg Goodall sail standard for the Viper.

404 had Greg Goodall sail made for the Blade.

332 Sail is Taipan wide head sail made by Steve Brewin.
