[C38] Goblin Regatta

[Joseph Launie]

Steve,
     I installed the Seldon 4 inch sprit and over-maxed the distance 
beyond the headstay. Down here we do not fly chutes in heavy air. The 
sprit was easy to install right up until the moment when we pushed the 
sprit out into operating position. That is when we realized it would not 
fit between our bow pulpit and headstay. Could not move headstay so bow 
pulpit had to go. Redesigned bow pulpit so it would look like the one on 
the J-120 across the dock. (I am leaving out the profanity - you can fit 
in your own).  If you want to fly a code zero (we do not - yet) I 
recommend a bob stay.

     Very impressed with the Seldon set up. There are two little folding 
rings on the deck and an adjustable piston that captures them so moving 
the sprit from on deck to outboard position literally takes seconds.  I 
will email you pix of the set-up. Joe
