A good North Tri-Radial chute works real good on a reach...our kicks ass, the only problem when carrying it like that is the pole is right on the forestay.

I would look at getting an old sail cut into a Code 0...it would might work better

I'm still available to crew if anybody needs a body. PM me if interested

Raising it went well, except we had some forestay issues. When we got the boat I think a toggle was left off the turnbuckle and we didn't know any better. fortunately there was another S2 in the lot so we figured out we were missing fittings. Nothing worse that getting the stick up and not being abl...

Setting up our boat this weekend, and raising the mast. Any advice or step by step rules would be appreciated!! don't want any surprises.

Thanks in advance!

Anybody need crew? my boat won't be ready for the NOOD, looking to fill in if possible. Plenty of experience with the Melges 24 class, J/35's, Olson 30's, ect. Send me a PM

I may have to start something here with the offical logo and such...would the class have any issues with this? I have some ideas and would like to start this. I can get pricing and distribution set up fairly easily, I just need the go-ahead from everybody here. PM me with any issues.

I was under the impression that the original setup had the kicker also.

What kind of block was used on the kicker batten off the top of the mast with the stainess wire backstay? not ready to replace the whole backstay, but need to know specs for the old kicker setup...any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
