have just checked the link and see it moved to this one - Gelcoats and Flocoats New | Llewellyn Ryland

I am not sure that Phil used RAL numbers he sent me this order form for my boat and i have attached it here for you - the link for collours was to http://www.llewellyn-ryland.co.uk/standardrange.html and Golden Yellow was 3754 in that range. Phil described the layup as Layup, colour pigmented epoxy gel coat – epoxy resin in layup. Hope this is helpful. 2020 order form.xlsx

i think that Ian Vickers speaks to this in his set up guides and on the video you can find on You Tube which is a quite comprehensive review of set up. he suggests bringing in the main from 8mm from the centre to 5mm in light airs if i remember properly he also suggests easing the jib out; clearly works for him but like others i do tend to follow the if in doubt let it out. have promised myself to test this alternative approach. and guess it is about what is light airs what is super light and what normal? the link to the video is i know on Nigel Barrow's website.

i meant Wedge IOM page on Facebook - slip of the pen there last time.

i think there are some start up measurements for the Wedge on the Wedge IOM page. Worth a look.

i followed the guidance in the manual as for an A rig and then set up the forestay and backstay using the rig set up guide on Nigel Barrow's site. rig seemed to work OK like that. hope this helps.

Soch sails do some neat hull stickers that come in various colours and seem to be a good alternative to painting the hull.

i would agree with that view the scenario could be similar to this from the 2021 - 2024 Case Book CASE 11 When boats are overlapped at an obstruction, including an obstruction that is a right-of-way boat, the outside boat must give the inside boat room between her and the obstruction.
