Am I correct in my understanding that a bridle foil is designed to negate the inward force (pull) of the forestay on the bridle wires, in other words it stops the bows from bending inward? For my winter project, I want to clear my tramp of the jib blocks and move them onto the forward crossbeam, in order to do this, I will take Pete's advice and move my bridle wires 18" forward on the bow of both hulls. My concern is this will exert more inward bend on the hulls so I am considering a home made bridle foil, any/all suggestions/experiences?
thanks
