Hi Laurens, 1. Until today, we had no problems furling and unfurling the main and mizzen, no matter which angle to the wind the boat was facing and how strong the wind was. 2. We had these concerns

Hi Martin, Very interesting and many thanks that you made us aware of the way a sail can be build. I checked the website of Stade and almost sure I’m going to visit them soon to discuss the

Interesting. None of the 54s I have seen (probably 30-40) have battens this low. Everyone I have seen has battens in about the top 1/3rd to top 1/2 of the sail.

Hi Kent and Iris, Thank you very much!! Bill just sent me a file which has a plan for the alignment tool so we will definitely get one made. We had asked Maud for one but they no longer stock

Hi Helen and Kosta, I replaced Kristy's drive several years ago. It was straightforward. If you don't have the alignment "tool" for aligning the engine with the drive, you should really have that.
