A lot of Venti so is there that much difference between the 2 models and how can a good boat like that fall out of favour?

We are going to correct this on Wednesday what amount of prebend?

The mast is a normal 11mm dia black mast, Graphite sails sail on a Vision IOM.

I recently had a new V12 delivered, but I do not have the V12 set up guide, but I do have the V11 one.

I have sent Ian an email, but understand he is not well, so understandably he hasn't responded to date.

Keen to get the rigs built I have 2 questions to the forum.

Q1 Does anyone have a V12 set up guide they could share?

Q2 If anyone knows if the dimensions in the V11 are the same as the V12.

Many thanks

Neil

I’m wondering if the age and design can be identified, there is a code at the rear which I’m guessing is from when it was first registered?

After a blustery nose-diving Sunday (not quite to Nationals level...!), I'd taken on a bit of water such that the tray partially filled and the battery partially immersed. Bit worrying with lithium involved.

Wondered what other methods people use to deal with this issue. Just mount it higher above the bilge? (Probably minor effect on CoG I guess).

]]>4482Sat, 04 Apr 2026 13:04:16 +0000My Surprise Findhttps://www.mya-uk.org.uk/forums/topic/4477-my-surprise-find/Over 30 years ago, I created a Mark 2 version of my then-popular Paracite design. Two hulls were built just in time to compete in the 1996 European Championships in Fleetwood. Additionally, my IOM also raced in Portugal that same year.

I often find myself wondering about the fate of my previous boats, and I must admit that I've regretted parting with some of them in the past.

Today, to my surprise, I stumbled upon my old Paracite 2 design (it still has the Whirlwind Winch)! It was tucked away in the darkest corners of the Greenock clubhouse, forgotten for decades. Who knows how this 30-year-old IOM made its way back to me in Greenock? All I know is that I’m taking it with me to Florida; it’s going to be my ‘Pimp’ project, and it will return to the lakeside.
