You are only as strong as your weakest link
Thanks N4RKLA for running the load analysis on the boom. I have to admit I didn’t go to that extent with my calculations, instead it was based on theory of reducing the leaver due to vang take off being further back, combined with better triangulation = more power.
The boat will certainly take the extra load as it is just super stiff, however i’m not so sure about the sail. These are the remains of it after the sail on Sunday…. Maybe I’ll pull a little less next time.
