When i started to think about Clapotis, i thought about couple of improvements specially for the bowsprit and the furling system for the Gennaker.
The Gennaker is a very important sail on a cruising Catamaran. On Clapotis it is a super turbo booster that make sail all the time in the average of 8 to 10 knots.
First..
- Bowsprit is longer than the original one.
- I installed a 2to1 tack-line with a Spinlock cleat (to avoid to climb over the bow pulpit)
- The furling line is coming back to the side
- When we use the spinnaker , we remove the drum and attach the tack line to a purchase system (my old running backstay on the First 30). this allows us to bring back tackline to the hull and get a better angle downwind.
Here are few pictures showing the details
