Dear All, There is a video at Corning how to raise the mast on a DF28 yourself, but some details are missing there - for us at least. Here is our video with some more details to get it right: https://youtu.be/AxtpRnk2cTM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxtpRnk2cTM&feature=youtu.be Note: make sur...

Thanks Larry, this is very sensible advise. It is just that I cannot wait, really… :oops: I have meanwhile checked with Quorning and what they supply is actually the following from Elvstrøm: - Main 42 m^2 - Genoa 21 m^2 - Code0 45.3 m^2, EPEX membrane with 0,5 oz film and Technora fibres - Asymmetri...

Cheers

Indeed, except for the first year reversing, the advantage of reversing appears to be marginal.

Therefore, its good idea to every year: first: change/reverse ends, then next year cut 20 cm of, then reverse ends again and so on. Mario Hi all, Thanks for all the advice to reduce wear and tear. A newbie like me can make very good use of that. :) The above recipe by Mario needs some small clarifi...

Mathias from Hamburg, Germany. Our DF28 Sport is still in the making at Quorning. From April onwards we should be afloat. Can't wait, really… 6 years of beach catamaran sailing experience, but virtually no mono-hull experience. Cheers Mathias PS: I just hope this reply is sorted correctly. I was ask...
