Pity, as on RB it worked a treat. BD's mast is considerably stiffer though, so it will be interesting to compare results when everything is working on both. Guess it is a job for the sailmaker.

Great work, Henny. Many thanks. I have blown most of the day so far watching it. Wonderful that all the hard work is paying off. You have certainly got the shunts sorted out. The sails definitely look too full according to the draft stripes, did you try bending the mast to flatten them and remove the forestay sag? Look forward to the next installment.Yes I did by tightening the topping lift. Not much of an effect besides of heavily bending the mast top backwards and producing a singing rig/boom.Henny van Oortmarssen
