Ros - yes, its a Superspars mast

Simon - you will have to speak to Toby at Hydes; [email protected] 01489 563426

Honestly I got the couple C-Tech / Hyde and I'm not really happy with that.

The main is too flat probably because the mast is too soft.

I'm always lacking power.

[neal_gibson]

sounds like you need some powweeerrr sails like suicides new ones

[iain_christie]

Hmmm, should be a laugh in lots of breeze trying to bear away or trying to tack!!

After this weekend I think two rigs are the way forward.  A tiny flat set for big breeze and a big, full, powerfull set for anything that isnt. Maybe go proper old school and go single wire and have a non mast head kite and no T-foil.

I need a new main so if anyone has a 91 or 97 main availble give me a shout.

Ross ,

With your new mast rake issue you may want to chop a bit off the bottom to get the rake right.  Slippery's step was on the floor where as Stanley's is higher up in the boat. Don't take too much off in a go is my advice.

I would find it very hard to go away from Fyfe sails with a C-tech Cherub spar. They produce exquisitely well matched mast/sail combinations.

Dont forget alverbanks... we can custom make sails so they fit the mast/rig they're going on.

well not quite exquisite enough to win the nationals 

And with what Hydes are doing at the moment it is hard to go anywhere else.

Has Kevan got a shape for a Kite yet, Stuart?

[ross_burkin]

Simon, did you speak to Hyde?

[simon_jones]

Hi Ross , yes we did speak to Hyde, however we had already given someone else the work. And although it will cost us more. 1) We didn't feel right messing someone around. 2) We are confidant that we will get some nice sails. 3) We also get a set of cut down Redeyes into the bargain for when it's blowing it's tits off. (force 4 for Dean and myself)

What.... 10% off if you wait about a year!  Have your kite turn up half way through the nationals like Phil? 

Go to Grant Piggott.

BTW... not been sailing much as my boy has  ( had? ) a girl friend which seems to have curtailed the sailing since August. It seems to have gone a bit quite on that front at the moment so I may be able to get him back in a boat soon! 

[Stuberry]

Don't forget Nick. I'm confident a set of "Pratts" will be excellent.
