The fastest spinnaker sheets of Öresound

johan@winberg.com (Johan) — Sat, 16 Aug 2014 17:27:08 +0000

I have made these real fast spinnaker sheets:

It is 10 mm double braided polyester spliced to 4 mm dyneema. It is very light at the flying end and runs easier in the blocks.

I like to have a thick end in my hand. It is very comfortable. The thin end makes the spinnaker fly in very light air. These spinnaker sheet I can use in every wind. By splicing the two yourself, you can choose exactly the lines you like.

I also made new barberhaulers by spicing 3 mm dyneema to a very light ring:

At the aft end of the barberhauler I have spliced on a 5 mm polyester cover, the outer part from another line:

This weighs 1/3 of my old barberhauler of 5 mm with a block at the end.

I now have the fastest spinnaker sheets of Öresound.

RHSS winner 2013

InFinit performed very well this year at the local club races in Råå. Like the last years, the other IF-boats were most of the time kept behind. Furthermore, in the handicap time correction, InFinit managed to reach the first place also in front of all the other boat types. It is very satisfying that such an old boat design keeps giving lots of problem for modern boat types.
