Change the backstay to pully system to make it adjustable and so it can tension
the rig for the up wind legs
Fitted quick release jammers on the coach roof bringing all the halyards, spinaker up/down haul
back to the cockpit.
Removable toe strap in the cockpit fitted for a windy day (although one does need to remove the

Second coat Brightside again with thinners added. Same rollers.
Tinned wire as this does not corrode.
Master & Mast isolator switch.
Solar panel diode built in to prevent nigh-time discharge.
NASA Clipper instruments, "DUET"
which combines an echo sounder and log in the same unit. The depth
transducer also sits inside the boat in a well of nut oil (this is
supposed to be better than bonding it to the boat, however it can be
messy!). Hole in the boat for the log!
Transducer just aft of the keel a few inches out from the centre line
Spinnaker using a GRP launching funnel and sock on the pullpit (a common feature on ullswater) the pole is stowed on the boom.

rigg tension for racing. She also has a cascade sysem pulley to tension
the backstay and the same for the babystay.
