Re: Thanksgiving thought
You're right, now that I think about it. I saw a turkey fly once, he was hanging off the side of a H16

Thanksgiving thought
If turkeys could fly, a Supercat would still be faster

Re: Dolphin striker wire tension
After checking it out, the cap was assembled 180 degrees off, somehow? It didn't change it much, but, problem solved

Re: Dolphin striker wire tension
The hole size and angle are different. That's why I think the angle is what kept it from going to the top. I'll take it apart and examine.
The hole on the rear beam cap is smaller. I drilled it out. If I used the cap from the front beam, I would have to turn it down to fit the 4" beam.

Re: Dolphin striker wire tension
I can make that adjustment.
The end cap pictured is originally from the rear beam, I think the existing hole angle may be why it didn't want to rotate to the top. I'll have to check that out

Re: Dolphin striker wire tension
I was tempted to use the stamped eyestraps. The ones I used are almost $3 each, and there are a bunch of them.

Re: Dolphin striker wire tension
I've always found the stuff I got from Tom to far surpass what I can do. The self tacking jib track for example was well worth buying

Re: Dolphin striker wire tension
I copied Kevin's upgrade and did them myself. I admit it is a project that requires accuracy, but it was worth the work.

Re: Dolphin striker wire tension
Mac, I had similar issues with mine, especially with the beam corrosion around the big bolts when I first got it. I found the solid beam conversion to be appropriate and kept the telescopic beams for transport/set up. I used the original cable and end caps. Kevin posted an excellent thread on his up...

Re: What Class Boat Is This???
Bill,
Does the shape of an air foil work the same on the shape of a hull?
Does water density cause it to flow differently than air around a foil.
Should the widest part of a hull be closer to 40% aft of the bow?
Or am I incorrect
John
