Someone gave us a spare carbon fibre extension which my brilliant crew was able to convert to a very nice Fireball extension. I was wondering if we could have a quick rule change so that we don't have to replace it for official events. Tweet |

Carbon has be used in sailing for over 30 years now 505s were using Carbon masts back in the 80s. But it takes Fireball International a long time to pass rule changes(eg two windows in jibs over 5 years) you have not much hope. Any Merry Christmas to you and good sailing in 2012 You could spray the tiller with black paint and do not tell anybody. All the Best Barry Smith (14430 Jango Fett) Tweet |
