New Spreader rake adjustment system developed by Piet Saarberg:

"We have developed a set for adjusting the spreader rake from the bottom of the mast while sailing.
It is a very neat system with a fail-safe position in case the system gets damaged and the control is lost.

Elissa Speed Line Regatta Report – Houston Yacht Club, Galveston, Texas
By Bruce Mahoney and Bailey White

On April 10-12, the Houston Yacht Club did a fantastic job hosting a new "Speed" division in its 29th Annual Elissa Regatta. The idea, created by A-Class sailors at the club, was to bring together anything that's small and fast so we could share our latest developments, and to race with no ratings on different types of courses. Classes included the A Cats, Foiling Kiteboards, Windsurfers and a Flying Phantom that just arrived the day of the event.
