Re: Info on Leopard 46 reefing at helm.

Re: Info on Leopard 46 reefing at helm.

I don't have single line reefing. I do need to go forward to hook the luff as well. The pics I posted show how they are run, but do require you to go forward to hook the luff.

My thoughts are...

Check out Ruby Rose video on YouTube. They do a good job comparing Sailrite with another brand and the pros and cons of each. https://youtu.be/q3MsdGjtQOk

Re: To Bow Sprit or not to Bow Sprit

I don't know if you saw how Impi douses the chute. The video I posted at 11:29 or there about shows his punch release which de-powers instantly. The clip is here. https://youtu.be/ZcXok79EeGI

Re: To Bow Sprit or not to Bow Sprit

You should check out Impi's setup. No sprit and seems to be just fine.

Re: Swinging on a mooring buoy - how to use bridle?

I don't like the setup on the 450. We run the lines from the bow cleats on each side. I charter 450s so this is ok, but chafe would be a problem long term on both lines and hull.

The other...

Re: Best use for the cockpit draining locker?

I have put a drain plug in the drink storage box on a 450. It helps keep ice a little longer, but not by much.

I am waiting to hear if someone has successfully insulated the box.

Re: Performance of Lagoon 560 For Ocean Passage

See the sail area details on both 450 and the 560 from the Lagoon website below. None of the numbers on the 560 are double to compensate for being twice the weight. There are some optional sails...

Re: Performance of Lagoon 560 For Ocean Passage

This is just a guess I have never sailed the 56. The 450 should be faster, its half the weight and the 56 doesn't carry double the sail area. Based on the stats the 56 should sail better than the...
