In this video, we take you through the full build and installation of an inner forestay and staysail, on our Rival 32. This upgrade will be crucial to sailing in heavy weather, and keeping the boat balanced offshore. A huge shout out to Kemp Sails who believed in our project and creativity to take us on as ambassadors for their brand, a real privilege. #heavyweathersailing #innerforestay #staysail
Whether you’re navigating through chop, racing at top speed or soaring above the water with a foil, the all-new Rocket+ delivers performance and control that will leave you exhilarated. With its low entry rocker, the Rocket+ delivers early planing power and exceptional control, even when racing through overpowering winds and choppy waters. The enhanced front V ensures smoother handling in challenging conditions, while the addition of a slight V in the tail enhances stability at high speeds, giving you the confidence to push harder.

Catamarans are the perfect boats to dry out on a beach, or, as many do in tidal areas (including ourselves), use a half tide drying mooring. If the boat has daggerboards then sensibly the rudders should lift to avoid damage, especially if the tide/wind causes waves when refloating. I have used the method seen in this video for 40 years. Very simple and works easily. Please note that this boat is over 30 years old, and I had never tried to lift the rudders with one hand before! Hence the initial hesitation. They would lift more easily if the shafts were greased. A simple snap hook holds the rudder up. Some people use "dinghy style" lifting rudders but that means the blades stick out behind the boat, which has often led to breakages when in a crowded anchorage and unsuspecting dinghies pass in the night. This rudder system works exactly like a conventional semi-balanced rudder when it in the down position. And has the advantage that the whole rudder can be taken off the boat by simply undoing one bolt. And no shaft leaks either! The thin ropes led through blocks to a cleat on the tiller are connected to the outboard. So the engine turns with the rudders, significantly increasing manouverability!
