The New FF Rig

Datchet is down for another visit of the new experimental Flying Fifteen rig in February. If you haven't already tried it, let me know. I would like to get some idea of the number of people who would be interested in having a sail.

Next we ought get some bar level conversation going as to whether we think we should support the move to the new rig or not. The vote will be soon and we should raise the level of debate. When Howard and I tried it last year in light to medium breezes we were pretty impressed - same speed, much faster tacking, lighter sheet loads. The monster spinnaker was a bit awe inspiring, but I think the current status of that is 'dropped'.
