Essex, UK | Do you definately have a 4.9? that was originally the Condor but changed to a 4.9 when White Formula bought the moulds. AFAIK it didn't use Tornado rudders though. I think the 5.9 did use T rudders.

UK | Hi all
i have just acquired a hurricane 4.9 and am after some info.
firstly i need a jib for it. does anyone know where i may be able to get a jib or have a picture of a jib so i can estimate a design. did the jib take any of the rig tension or was it a hank on?
and secondly one of the rudders needs replacing. the white formula guys have said that the rudder is not made anymore but it is the same shape as a tornado rudder. so if any one has any info on where i can get a second hand blade that would be amazing.
regards
Ant C
The answer depends to some extent on whether the boat was built as a Condor or upgraded (as a lot were). As far as I know the boats from s/n 999 were foam sandwich boats with the 5.9 system. The boats built as 4.9s (from approx s/n 1046) should also have this system. I understand that there may be exceptions to this as I think John Mazzotti may have passed the rights to IYRU/ISAF and home build may still have been possible. Earlier boats had a very 'square' rudder blade. Cheshirecatman | | | Re: Hurricane 4.9

Looking for a Job, I got credi... | I THINK that the 4.9's had Hurricane 5.9 rudders with different stocks and arms as the setup was different; Grant Piggot WILL be able to help.
