Stay Sail Tack

[Stephen Brady]

Bending on the StaySail, I could not find how the Tack was attached to the Isomat StaySail Boom. The end has two reefing horns on each side, and a hole forward for a fitting, but no indication a fitting was ever used and no parts. I found an old peice of 5/16" line attached to athe StaySail Shroud fitting on the deck, like a pennat, but that does not seem correct. Any advice on how your Stay Sail tack is attached?

Mine has a metal hoop, like a regular shackle but flat, that goes through the tack of the sail and attaches to the boom using the "shackle" bolt. The bolt hole is just about 1/2 inch in front of the horns.

The prevented main seems to feed and Phil is symmetrical on a dead downwind run with no problems. And no pole

Great, how in the ?  were you able to do that?

[Stephen Brady]

Thanks Alex, thats what I thought. What has me baffled is that the spot for the Shackle Pin looks like it has never been used.

 

Nice Shots Ron.....

Fill the asymmetrical not Phil the symmetrical . Stupid Siri. Anyway, I have a Dutchman boom break but any preventer would work I guess. I sheeted The prevented main a little tighter than normal for a wing on wing run and it seemed to dump air right into the aysm. Was very easy on a run. I thought I would need a pole but it held form the entire time.

Ron, I was just looking at your nifty photos and noticed your boom brake.  It seems very like our Wolter Boom Brake.  Is that the brand of your unit and if so, do you think that was a device included by Cabo Rico?  We thought the PO added it and not knowing the number of boom brake products available at the time, maybe there are a whole host of these things out there.  I do not see these in my travels here in the Chesapeake.

We have just added a whisker pole to hold out our gennie.  No asymmetrical sail yet.

best,

this is a dutchman boob brake. in my opinion, nothing even comes close. controlled from cockpit. would not sail without one.

I think I have a wolter or something like it—certainly not a dutchman. Not sure if PO added it or came with.

We have a Wichard Gyb'easy boom brake... learned a trick from Il Giro to get it tight:

1) Attach the boom brake to the bottom of the boom where you would normally attach the vang.

2) Detach the vang and you have a nice triple block set up.

3) Hook the boom brake up as usual but have one end attached to the vang so you can pull on the vang and pull the control line for the boom brake tight.

4) Attach the other end of the vang to a stern cleat.

Pulled tight, the boom brake acts like a preventer. Loosened, it works like a regular boom brake.
