Reply to: Hyfield lever vs Hobie shroud extender

[quote=davefarmer]The Supercat shroud extenders absolutely rely on the mast being secured to the base, which it sounds like the H21 has. The hyfield levers alone will not provide enough extension to aid in righting, they provide enough additional length to allow repinning the shroud to the lever when the boat is righted. It is truly disconcerting to watch your rig flailing about once up, the key is to quickly get the boat sailing slowly to windward, with the loose shroud to leeward. Then the mast is stabilized, supported by the windward shroud and the forestay. Repin the shoud to the lever, and close and pin it. Which is a reasonable effort in moderate conditions, and pretty hairy in a big chop. It's doubtful that the repinning could be done solo, as you can't leave the helm long enough to fuss with the shroud. You can't allow the the boat to tack (because the rig is again flailing about), and you don't want it to bear away and power up, or you're likely to go over again, particularly with you to leeward. Plus you probably don't have enough weight to right the boat, even with the extended shroud. I have a pair of SC levers for sale, and could provide pics and measurements from the SC20 system if you're interested.[/quote]
