[quote=erice]rick's and others tend to require drilling and riveting to the main beam just behind the DS
i went over for the 1st time this year and it again focuses my mind on sorting out a righting pole for my nacra 5.2
it needs to be longer than the tramp for solo use so i'm thinking of making a telescoping one where the tip of a skinny windsurfer mast comes out of the base of a fatter windsurfer mast
to attach to the DS i think i will disassemble it, add a large alloy plate under the nut, then follow up with another nut
that should give me a base plate for the pole to mount to
today's dunking happened when i came up to round a mark at a headland, was still on trapeze coming right up to the mark when a gust coming down the other side of the headland caught the sail on the back side
hull came up and teabagged me on the wrong side
maybe i could have saved it then by just unhooking but i tried to pull myself back onto the tramp and just pulled the boat over on me
used my waterproof phone to call the local boat rental club and 5 minutes later he lifted the mast enough for my puny 75kg to bring up the rest of the boat [/quote]
