Could be ad hoc. But only temporarily.

OT 928 content: 50th stroker ain't bad for sure Mr T.!!

Pure OT content: if I can just get mine wrapped up I'll be a hominator for sure!! rocks aren't the only thing frying here right now - so it's way too hot to run the dyno for tuning (over 100f)... now I have to wait for winter/or heat wave to break thought moldex was slow, but that infamous socal high makes a glacier look speedy

OT mal-content: too bad we can't just re-calibrate the weather like some do w/ a dyno.... hehehe...

928 mal-content: caution - image may be unsettling to a boosturd

Thad, I think proas only have one outrigger. Since yours has two it's a trimaran not a proa.

I still say the best hop-up is new gaskets and a clean bill of health. I haven't seen 170 yet, but will sooner or later.
Actually, the best hop-up is living near Dave Chamberland...my stuff runs nice, and he's to blame.

Those fruit of the loom guys are always talking smack about sailing, but they're just dumb jocks.

This made me laugh....but I don't know why.......Thad, either you are nutz, or a way bigger man than I, putting up a pucture like that. What were you doing?, something for your kids at school or something? Sorry if I missed a previous explanation......Like I said, depending on why you are in that outfit, I either admire your guts, or have pity for your "condition".

By the way, the big boys put a belly in the sail by bending the mast with the aft stays....I don't recommend you try that with your rig, your mast step has no appreciable leverage applied to the mast. It is one of the reasons cat boats were gaff-rigged.... Also, with only one outrigger and no keel or dagger, I would be careful tacking that thing. She goes over and she will as likely turn turtle. For that reason I recommend a styrofoam float or ball be installed at the top of the mast.

Oh yeah, 928 content.....I bet that "proto-proa" won't be as fast as my SuperShark......
