Stephan and Fleet,<br>
I agree with you. It seemed like it might be "on the edge" since
I'm not sure it would make my boat faster, but based on the feedback
so far I have decided to go with the standard stuff. The last thing
a former fleet measurer wants to do is start an arms race in a
low-cost one-design fleet :)<br>

Jan,

<div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>First,
glad you are all OK. As to changing type of rigging, my feeling
is that the class rules specify as to size and type so we don’t
start an “arms” race with components. The standard stuff is
still readily available. The compact rigging, as shown in the
rigging shop cross section diagram, also is of a different
dimension and I would think violate the letter as well as the
spirit of rule 14. Happy to hear anyone else weigh in on this.</div>

In a nasty blast a few weeks ago on the Bay, Carlos'
mast suddenly went sideways, outers parted at the
top and inner at the bottom. Amazingly mast is fine
(and so are all the crew). So I need to replace
Carlos' standing rigging, and someone suggested
Dyform or "compacted strand" wire. They are both SS
wire but pack a bit more steel into the same
diameter (I think) and are therefore somewhat
stronger and less stretchy.<br class="">
<br class="">
Does anyone have experience with either of these -
or know whether they are legal, for that matter?
For reference, this is what I see in the current
rules (first entry is in main body, second entry is
in checklist):<br class="">
