Re: Jib top reached attachment?
Hi, I no longer use the asymmetrical as the Jib top reacher does everything that the assymetrical does and more. it will point higher than you think, 45 to 50 degrees depending on sheeting arrangements. I dont think running back stays are nessacary. Id like to mount mine permanently on a furler. Che...

Re: New House Batteries - AGM or Flooded Cell?

Re: Carrying a dinghy
Hi all, I don't tow the dinghy often. I've been caught out a couple of times by squalls and it was one more thing I had to worry about. The dinghy tow system seems awfully expensive. I agree with Geoff regarding not underestimating nature. Ive seen several davit systems not deal well with adverse we...

Re: Carrying a dinghy
Hi, now I'm not suggesting this is a perfect way to carry a tender but in most conditions im comfortable with it. Im yet to find a perfect way on a 33foot freedom.

Cheers Dale.
