Ya, i really need to have the engine controls moved to cockpit controls. It sucks when in stressful situations to lean over to adjust speed and forward/reverse. Like how you did that. My 30 foot Condor trimaran needs that 2:1 halyard set up also. I did get a Tidesmarine set up and that has been much better. Great work Robert.
Hi Robert, Nice shorts you wearin' ;-) I noticed that in earlier videos you were using the bolt-rope system, with the main sail rolled around the boom. Now in more recent videos you seem to have changed the system to "sail slugs". I had a F24MK1 for many years and have recently upgraded to a F31. I noticed, that it is quite a difference in handling the bolt-rope main sail (F24 easy, whereas on the F31 very very hard to raise and lower) Any advise from your side regarding the change and what materials to use would be highly appreciated! Kindest regards Manfred V.
you did well to get the main to full hoist without the winch, even if it was slow. Like the outboard control under the seat.
2:1 hoist. Slow&steady, 1:1 before. Needed which from 60% up. Took longer.

It were all tweaks and mods which should have been standard on an expensive boat like this……
