Reply To: OK 1225…..
Thanks Jeff, I’ve been studying the pictures in the Tech Article very closely!
Well, the big news is that I’ve just done the deal on 1225!!!
Sailed it this morning, with a very poorly matched sail (Cameron’s spare for black-top), and while the sail was horrible on the blue top mast, and none of the controls worked (all under deck), but the hull is in very good shape and let in not a drop. Cameron had a quick go to compare it to his and suggested that it “felt” lighter.
So, I guess that this week I’ll be shopping for:
13 20mm blocks
1 triple block
1 double block
8 cleats
Lots of metres of different coloured dyneema
….. anything else required? What thickness of dyneema hould I be using for the controls? 3mm? 4mm?
