Is there anyone that has rigged a boomvang for their AI or TI? I recall seeing someone posted a description of one, but I don't recall where I saw it. They used a carbon fiber pole. Thanks |

Peter, thanks for the link. There's some good information and food for thought in that series of posts. I didn't get a notification of your reply post and am now revisiting the site for the first time since posting it. Got the boat on the water for the first time since Sept and remembered my posted question... |

You can rig up a sprit boom attached with a Prusik knot to the base of the mast. With some clever routing, the main sheet has some vanging effect, but this is limited downwind. The problem is that the boom has to be attached below the base of the sail to allow the sail to furl around the mast so it’s hard to stop it from lifting. After trying a variety of solutions the only one that the only one that has worked (very well) for me is having a twin boom system where the booms are angled so as to be self vanging and are kept away from the mast with a cross piece ahead of the mast located by shrouds fixed at the masthead via a hobie spinnaker mast cap. See this thread for more details (page 4) and thr you tube link [url] https://www.hobie.com/forums/viewtopic. ... 7d#p335674 [/url] |
