Geoff, I have converted my runners into spectra as it does no damage to he sail and is much lighter. I use a 4/1 tackel to tighten at S/S loop on top of the big sheet turning blocks. When the runners are not in use (which is most of the time) I fix to a D ring which we welded to the bottle screw fixings at shroud base. I have covered the baby stay wire with braided rope. Strip inner core and feed wire in wire to replace. Much kinder than just wire on the sail. In the area where I sail (North sea) we frequently get a short but steep chop which can cause the mast to flex. So the baby stay and runners are used. Force 5/6

The original specs (I quote from the sailplan) on the 411 are as follows: Daniel did you scale the length of the runners off the plan, or is that from actual, and is it the full length, pin to ring, or the length shortened to make room for the 4:1 gear? |

Geoff, So to make sure I understand - the wire section, without the 4:1, is 12m long? About how much length is left for the 4:1 gear (let's say when taut)? Are you attached to the fitting on top of the double turning blocks? Sorry to ask so many q's, but I want to buy this material tomorrow and fly it in for next week's launch -
