    @billcoleman8854 Před 21 dnem

    2.5 MM Punch would be ideal. as the pin is 1/8", an eighth inch Punch gets stuck. I also found if handy to use a 1/16" Pin to use as a guide for re-inserting the roll pin, as they are a little large and seem to remove a little of the plastic. The knob is a terrible design, seems to be designed to fail. The little 1/8" nub that goes into the hole in the spring will snap off sooner than later. I saved my knobs, and drilled a 5/32" hole where it was sheared off, and pushed a 5/32" X 5/8" pin up into the plastic, I think that should hold up better.

    Nice. Just ordered one. I appreciate the chill and informative video. I know it’d be cooler and slightly more informative to show it in action on a boat, but I know the reality is that’s 10x the effort… so factory explainer vid works great!

    Lolololololoolololol what do you mean "would be a nightmare to sail"? I'm surprised they are legal! Are that many control lines really that necessary? The only thing capable of sailing that hideous cacophony of lines is an octopus.

    Hi, What would your recommend for the luff length of the asymatric spinnaker in relation to the length between the attachement points on the anti-torque cable for a top-down furling system? How many percentage % should the luff length of the sail be longer then the length between the attachement points on the cable, to have a asymatric sail for deep sailing that can still be furled up easily?
