Hi all, We just launched \\\"Hirundo\\\" down here in Tasmania. She is a modified BR20 and there is a short clip of her initial sail at the link below; http://youtu.be/ZiR8tYTwA1IAll sailing in the clip was done un-ballasted. Still a few minor tweaks to go but wow, does she fly! regards, Andrew |

Andrew,
It certainly looks fast - good video.
The modifications that I can see are a battened main, permanent bowsprit, bobstay and conventionally-sheeted foresail. Also a one-piece mainmast, three reefing points on the mainsail and an independent forestay. Anything else?
How have you mounted the bowsprit on the deck and did you consider an overlapping foresail?
Graham
