warbird Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I am playing on a Nacra 14squared for summer and am having trouble not routing out a channel in my daggers for a lifting line. All of my other boats have this and I do not understand why the nacra does not. Apart from anything else it means they can't get away in a capsize. I do though really like to be able to just pull that string hainf gone round a weather mark. Has anyone else done this to or seen this on a Ncara high lift system??

DigitalTourGuide Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Hi Lester, the photos I just sent you on rotation/downhaul also show a pulldown/secure system for your daggerboards. DigitalTourGuide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigitalTourGuide Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Hi Bradk Photos are below were on disussion of rotation / downhaul systems. Most photos are of my boat, but three different boats in all with three different systems.. (Mine is the most basic rotation system but very effective) http://www.digitaltourguide.com.au/images/IMG_0448.JPG http://www.digitaltourguide.com.au/images/IMG_0449.JPG http://www.digitaltourguide.com.au/images/IMG_0450.JPG http://www.digitaltourguide.com.au/images/IMG_0451.JPG http://www.digitaltourguide.com.au/images/IMG_0452.JPG http://www.digitaltourguide.com.au/images/IMG_0453.JPG http://www.digitaltourguide.com.au/images/IMG_0454.JPG Glen / DigitalTourGuide.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleverNickname Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Brad, I think you have a 5.8 and not a 14 squared. Have a look at this discussion about jib downhaul systems. The simple answer is that the jib halyard runs back down the zippered luff pocket on the jib. http://www.catsailor.net/cgi-bin/ubb/Forum5/HTML/000117.html Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warbird Posted December 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 I must be different to most saiors in that I find putting boards down easy and want a lifter for going around weather mark in a 25 blow. I want the boards up without having to go to the wrong side of boat and lett every thing go.
