Coming back to my previous posts. Issue is that the board is thicker than the trunck in some location, making it difficult to move, such way that the downhaul line get trapped and squeezed between the board and the trunck. Under such condition there is no more chance to get the board up or down even...

Thanks Christian for the recommendations. 1- The plate on top of the trunk is in Stanless steel and not aluminium on my 2006 Extreme. The srews have been very easy to remove and reinstall. To ease the job I used a 300 mm long screwdriver, which help. (see pictures) 2- There is no sealent but a multi...

Hello, I bought recently a 920 which was birthing in mud at each tide. The board is very hard to downhaul. I thought that over time it will get better as mud inside the trunck will get cleaned away. But no improvement. My plan to investigate the issue is to remove the table rather than dismounting t...

I have been instructed by the previous owner of my mk2 to just remove the looseness of the waterstay while the arms are just deflecting through the weight of the amas.

What is the wett surface of a D800?

On my DF800 I often carry an inflatable Dinghy when away for cruising.
I keep it inflatable upside down on the tramp, strapped on front and rear beam as well as on central hull and amas. No problem even in bad weather.

I have a DF800 mk2 (fixed beams) Mast is hold by a shroud in the middle of the hama and a preventer backstay on the rear of the hama. With good wind and rough sea (Force 5), the traction force of the preventer backstay is high, while the structure of the boat is flexing, submitting the link between ...

Following previous questions please find some pictures of the installation of my Autohelm 2000+. I have selected the 2000 because faster than the 1000. Electricity comes only from a 45W solar panel. That is just enough for daily sommer cruising with some late night arrival. Philippe Damour Please cl...
