Hi all,
Just a question about the optional spreader bar for the Wave. From people's experience does it help hold the bows up out of the water? I would like an improvement on that front but for now I want to avoid installing a jib.
Cheers

No, the spreader bar does not help the bow stay up. It is intended to keep the bows spread apart while using the jib. I do think the jib helps lift the bows up. |

The traveler kit allows the main sail to be traveled out which relieves some pressure on the bows. |
