Hey Watty me again lol. Sorry for all the questions. I just had to fix my bridle. (The horizontal was under the vertices). I watched your video intently, and followed each direction step by step. I was wondering though, on the end caps on the end of each leading edge and the end caps on the wing tips, does it matter which way the loop goes through the hole? I did it exactly how you did it. But if they’re both the same can you put it through anyway you want? Also one more question... Does the bungee on the leading edge tips have a plastic washer behind them? I just bought a B-Pro off someone on Kitelife, and those are the only bungees without washers. Sorry for all the questions, just want to make sure it’s correct.
Hey James, absolutely no problem. Regarding the position of the bridle attachments, no, it doesn't really matter. The practical difference is so small, that it isn't worth worrying about. Just make sure the connection is clean. Regarding the washers on the ends of the leading edge, this was more common several years ago, but they seem to be unnecessary. The point of the washer is to compensate for the stretch of the sail where the bungee is connected. On the leading edge, those holes are often going through at least four layers of dacron, so stretch isn't really a concern.
Someone referred me to this video, thanks for taking the time to do this and helping others years after you published the video :)
Great job Watty. I needed to replace the bridle on my 1.5 SLE and you simplified the process for me. Thanks
Thank you!
Watty, great context done well.
