Bungee to Sail & Endcap Mods

Recommended Posts

Bump -- The bungee mod I've described here does work, but I have realized that it is too complicated and not easily field-adjustable. To achieve the flexibility of use and the weight reduction I sought at the outset, I decided to redesign the sail attachment hardware "from the ground up" and have come up with what I believe is a viable solution.

Stay tuned, will post pics of final design as soon as possible.

It's been almost a year, here's the result of my tinkering.

The leading edge ones do not require creating any new holes, and the outer ones use the top holes. The endcaps are custom machined from Delrin and fit inside the tubes. Total weight of all 6 endcaps and bungees is about 7.25 grams. The white bridle is 90# Spectra. The sail is a one-piece Spiro Line Art.
