Reply to: Hobie 16 shudder

[quote=Edchris177][quote]and on a tight reach with some speed, felt a shuddering or shaking of the whole rig. I[/quote] By "rig"do you mean the entire boat, or the actual rigging? By close reach, I assume you were sailing nearly as high as possible. On my 20' Mystere, if I sail really high, the jib will break, & create a shudder in the rig. It can be quite pronounced if I don't have the jib blocks pulled inboard from the hulls. It is also exacerbated if I don't have the fore/aft position of the blocks correct. With my 8' beam nacras, I don't have a 4 way system, the block only move fore/aft. With the Mystere 10' beam, I cannot leave the blocks at the hull when close hauled, I need to pull them inboard.[/quote]
