and the hose that runs though the feet would not control the show and every thing lost tention
it was still ok down wind but cross wind a bit of a fail - so I've added some lenth across the base of each Tee by adding a 20 mm socket and a 15 mm scket to each side
the 20 mm socket needed a small amound of work with the die grinder and it was opened out enough to tap onto the out side of the tee that was right through it that size
when assembled the 20 mm socket was glued fitting over the out side of the tee and then a 15 mm socket was glued and tapped in til it hit the edge of the tee
the remainder of the 15 mm socket was cut off level with the outside edge of the 20 mm socket
a little testing on the front nature strip wind tunnel found that the sail is more stable and the only thing then was the centre section on the hose would push foward
note the bit of bungy on the centre of the mast foot - that worked in holding this back
I'm thinking of braving the cold and doing some testing on the water this arvo ( there,s plenty of wind around )
