[quote=erice]for the whole "downhaul the main to depower" thing to work you need;
- pre-bend in the mast, which means swept spreaders and massive loads on the diamonds
- 20? to 1 downhaul that can be operated from the both hulls
- a sail designed for big down haul with a reinforced downhaul grommet etc.
pretty radical and expensive changes to a 30yr old boat if you currently have straight spreaders....
which is why most people would be better off selling an old 5.2 for $1500 and buying a old hobie tiger for $5000
