dangly stick

Post by Obscured by clouds »

Since I usually sail Julia Dream single handed using the spinnaker is rather out of the question

In order to maximise performance downwind I've been using an old short spinny pole to hold out the jib, but since it still needs setting up it's not really an option, and I now wonder whether a N12 dangly stick would work better.

can anyone out there elucidate to me how they are set up? In the meantime I'll look at the N12 site for info.

I also have a set of instructions for this.

I did one for my National 12 Sparkle.

It uses a cheap fisherman's landing net pole. Cost - up to £20.

Seems to work well.

Let me know if you want the article.

Yes please Stephen.

I've already been perusing the ebay ads for a suitable pole, there's no way I'm shelling out £100 for a carbon stick when you can get something adequate for £20.

Thing is, will this bit of carbon invalidate my cvrda cred?
