Aquarius Sail Owners

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

If turkeys could fly, a Supercat would still be faster
I'm thankful for my boat, even if it does get put together wrong sometimes .. Lol

So tell me about this Ft Walton race, assuming its on next year, I might be interested.

After checking it out, the cap was assembled 180 degrees off, somehow? It didn't change it much, but, problem solved

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.

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

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

Finally, some pictures

I won't be home for another 3 weeks, but I'll put them on then

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

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

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...

The tall rig is 38' 6"

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

Bill,
Thanks for the inverted vacuum idea, I'll check my TR that way
