SARANDIS' New Bowsprit

Chapter #3 in my quest for the Most-Tricked-Out-Sun27 trophy:
The Bowsprit.

Nice, huh? Courtesy of the friendly craftsmen at Ocean Rigging, this puppy will

  • look trés cool
  • make gybing the a-kite ten times easier
  • get the a-kite in clear air, so I can fly it deeper
  • move the centre of effort forward for increased stability
  • look trés cool
  • accommodate the new roll-gen spinnaker furler
  • be strong enough to stand on
  • make Tim Coughlin give me more room at start lines
  • not cost extra for moorage, since it is not longer than the pullpit
  • make Tyler jealous, because.. it looks trés cool!

Total cost: ~$750 + GST + 3 PHRF seconds :-)

If you think that will work on the starting line, you are crazier than I thought.
By the way it would be really nice to actually see you on a starting line. When will that Bus be finished???

SARANDIS's Gravatar Ha! Did you just call my boat a "bus"? Well, compared to a 30-ft sailing surfboard, sure.. I can see your point of view :-)

Seriously though, I should actually be able to sail, by next week.. yippeee...
