Hi All

Does anyone know the wire size for the lower part of the running backstays? The part from the quicklink to the amas?

dragonfly 800 SW - touring

i appear to have 8mm for the main stay and 6mm for the lower stay - is that correct?

Thank you Brian

Really helpful, I am guessing the bolts are 16mm?

Can I ask a rude question - how much did the parts cost?

Hi All

Any clues where I can purchase a Bob/side stay connector (bowsprit ring) for the end of my carbon bowsprit?

Anyone have a specification to upgrade the hinge bolts on my DF800sw?

noticed the close proximity of the nuts so concerned on making the new holes too big!

Firstly I am delighted to read your comments! Why? We have the same issues in our 800. Going through the Solent chop we have the same creeping and banging noises from the front mainly on the forward starboard aka. Our pins on both forward akas move upwards as well. Like you I am concerned on occasio...

Has anyone the specification and fittings information for the DF25 waterstays?

Thanks Paul

Good advice!

Downwind, any tips?

Any tips on mainsail trim upwind and downwind (traveller, leach tension etc) in all wind ranged

Plus up wind in stronger winds? Been told to dump the traveller but maintain leech tension (via tell tales) before reefing

Any trim tips very welcome!

Here is the amas showing the gap. The amas will rock sideways even though the nuts are hard tight

I will take a few this week

Noticed that the port amas moves 10mm side to side.

The nuts holding the amas to the arm are very tight but there is a 10mm gap on the inside edge. Therefore the arm does not sit flat on the plastic friction pad; the amas toes in

Any thoughts?

Morning All Reading through the equipment required to meet Cat 4 Offshore Racing Regs I have come across the need for a bilge pump (or is it two?) My 800sw does not have pump and I note from the manual there is one shown. Can anyone help with the installation and routing of the pipe work as reluctan...

Thank you!

Which double block is used for a 800 jib barber hauler?

Anyone know the sizes (or model reference number) of the amas and main saloon moonlight hatches?

All

new owner!

Where does the endless folding line that folds the amas attach itself to the amas? Plus: the XAS is slipping that holds the line, is this an east removal job?

All the best
