Hi All, I took my Solo for her first race out on Sunday.
The kicker broke on me when I was catching up to someone. Looking at my kicker setup the D shackle lost the pin and bent the shackle. I have a spare one that fits, but I was wondering what type of set up for kickers do you all have? (after someone at the club said that all solo's seem to have different kicker),
Also any tips on what to replace it with?
That double block looks a bit " poorly" and needs replacement.
The rope looks a bit antique and replacement with dyneems would remove stretch- knots are fine
Choosing light colour rope alllows two reference marks to be made against the standing line- giving a setting for "on" for the beat- and the offwind top batten set correctly run position.
An answer until someone expert responds😃
