Reply to: Frankenstein JIB project: HOBIE 17 meets Nacra 5.8 HELP please if you own a Nacra 5.8

[quote=beachsailor]If you look at the N6.0 the bridle foil is attached to the bows using wire. This is a pic of the N6.0 wire. [url]http://www.murrays.com/02-4715-22.html[/url]. By using wire it allows the hulls to flex but still keeps the loads pulling up(not trying to pull the bows in). The other advantage of moving the foil up is it keep the foil out of the water if you stuff the bow or push the bows thru a wave. The H17 was designed as a uni rig with the twin forestays running up to the mast tang. Thus reducing inward loads on the hull. That is the reason the bow foil or spreader bar is required.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by beachsailor on Jun 04, 2014 - 07:10 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
