Thanks for clarifying Bruno, we mostly do distance races like the Mac and some shorter stuff but seldom less than 15miles, I avoid bouy races other than wednesdays when it's not super stressful anyways. We end up loosing more time screwing up the hoist/douse and simplifying is a big deal. The admiral would like to be able to cruise easier too. We have a snuffer for the symmetrical but it gets jammed and I hate having crew on the foredeck with both hands in the air fiddling around with a dousing line, seems like a good way to do an unanticipated man overboard drill.
I"Ve got an 85 mk-iii and the mast says it's by C&C which is why I thought it was hopeless, I'll reach out to Klacko today!
