This is pretty much identical to a simple Bermudian setup. I sent Dennis bradley's contact to your email.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10094822137791392023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226463905740342331.post-54328637113004348502016-09-14T23:57:23.127-04:002016-09-14T23:57:23.127-04:00Howdy from the Yukon.

I am looking for details on how to seize (or somehow attach) the sprit (with jaws) to the sail. Is it firmly seized or loosely slung. I corresponded with Dennis Bradley a decade ago and I'd like to ask him some questions about his rig .... but I lost his contact. If anyone could help with the sprit question or the contact Dennis Bradley question, I'd be grateful! thanks <br />Dave Loeks loeks@northwestel.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226463905740342331.post-91337081002726537362016-07-20T12:10:11.489-04:002016-07-20T12:10:11.489-04:00There is no manufacturer.

It takes our boats forever to tell us their name. Have no idea that the Egret weighs. She's not a lightweight. We tow with an old Dodge 3500 work van with factory 9800lb tow rating so no problems towing but I can definitely tell the engine is working much harder than towing Proton which is a breeze at, I'm guessing, about 2200lb.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10094822137791392023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226463905740342331.post-42762866880555496762013-01-08T12:43:49.471-05:002013-01-08T12:43:49.471-05:00Interior is wide open due to the two bilge boards....Interior is wide open due to the two bilge boards. Much more useable than the single centerboard design. It's not much to look at right now, just an empty white fiberglass shell with peeling paint.
