Scott, did you have to modify the luff curve in the top, when modifying the Tornado main?

Got one but in Sweden. I guess shipping is to expensive from Europe.

Will you achieve this by bending the tubes coming from the castings to the tiller crossbar? Have a pair of Marstrom Tornado rudders. Will add adapter...

Wow - those beams are massive. This is the design I have choosen, note I use two shrouds/side connected to the same point as the waterstays, to make ...

This is what I had among my files in the Moth folder. Edited by revintage on Sep 20, 2023 - 04:31 PM.

Just put it together and sail it. A tiller crossbar is the easiest thing to do, so sail it and report back, I´m so curious! If the sail is to thorn, a...

What about the ,main was it included? Do you plan to rebuild it to original specifications or use a modern A-class rig on it?Edited by revintage on Se...

I'd love to know who built this one - now that I own it. Congrats 😎 !

Nice looking, sort of Tornado style hulls. Any sails?

I am concerned with torsional stiffness. Have taken care of that, by use of waterstays to minimize bend in the oversized beams, almost double wall t...

Why not make use of the Nacra Owners Manual instead of asking all these questions, no rocket science involved 😉 ?

Aliexpress, 20 USD shipped to Chile. (just be patient) Did of course mean "not justifiable" when buying at normal price. Great price, bought 46m 4mm...

I would not use dyneema because of the poor knot retention. Remember all the downhaul load will be on the hook, ring and twist shackle. The mast rotat...

If the pivmatic breaks, Clamcleat has a good substitution. Works like a charm! Edited by revintage on Jul 12, 2023 - 06:43 AM.

Hi Jens, Checked the FX-One spare parts list and there is no replacement for the inner reinforcement. To me it seem like they have added a ring of som...

No problem using an original old rig. Question is why you want to upgrade, are you planning to start racing in the Tornado class? If not, relax and ad...

Hope these helps:

Hi kson, Your main looks really crappy, this might be the first item you should invest in. Measure the luff track and come back here to get advice on ...

Hi kson, The Discovery seems to be a really nice boat with a lousy mainsheet system. I am currently building a 19´x15.3´ tri from two Nacra cats(5.5 ...

Just checked the Prindle 19 manual and I sincerely hope this is the proven system you use, p8-9? Edited by revintage on Dec 15, 2022 - 12:48 PM.

If keeping the system, go for Dyneema, easy to splice, as strong as stainless.
