Sprit Fixing

A day of maintenance on board FarrOut. Last week we had to remove the pulpit to feed a new wire for the bow light, it seemed a good idea to also remove the stainless bow fitting. Luckily a good fabricator friend of mine quickly turned around a fierce fixed bowsprit construction:
The extra out the bow should make those asymmetric gybes slicker and get the luff tighter for reaching. Hopefully the added projection will enable us to float the kite deeper.

Great stuff, now to declare it to IRC......we now check out with a longer STL, still shorter than the class pole though.
