am waiting on cd from bimare re setup, sailed one ay only few hrs inside Outer Banks, felt mast rake as was set up by prior owner much too much rake, consequently way too much weahter helm,had small lines, ? dyneema? 12" at bottom of each forestay, no way to lengthen sidestays,all of my prior cats and all dinghies have owned had chainstay,or some sort of adjustment at fore and side to always modify mast rake for different winds to balance out helm, also the main halyard (internal) snapped on first raising , and is not easy to rethread 32 ft through carbon mast , looks like foam plug and rubber membrane at top need removed and then thread new line from side outlet at bottom to tip and then replace plug, remembrane, the hull is certainly amazing light, still own Hobie Miracle 20 which is a pig comparatively -

Rejoice with me. My offer on the Bimare Javelin F18HT was accepted! I will be traveling from MI to FL. within the next
two months to tow it home. I will look to you for help if I may. I have a NACRA 6.0na as well. I am building a Fleet.
Not really. Having said that, it is fun to shop and learn about different boats. Thanks for the tip on the main halyard. -
