Interesting stuff! I'll keep studying dynex, I have Colin Speedie as our consultant and will speak with him some on the subject also. It's great to have him on board as France is a long way away and he works well with Boreal, he speaks boat French.
I like the sticking with sta Locs, it is something I've done before and enjoyed it. I have 16 months before I have worry about doing rigging, just want to get as much out of the way as possible early. So I have time for more study on the subject.
Mitch,
Boreal is a pretty great company, I spent a week last March doing sea trials and hanging out at the shop. I have never been so impressed with a company, its owners and workers as I was with them and that includes businesses I've owned. They welcome you at any time during the building process to come and inspect and learn. You want to know how to repair aluminum they can show you how to do repair welding. After sea trials they expect you to sail and sail hard it is part of the process of buying or signing a contract. New owners pick up their boat do a month of sea trials and are off mostly to the highest of lats. Some go off to do the NW passage, some the Horns. I'm not sure why the swedging on their part, they do their own rigging. But they are only interested in giving you the product you want as long as you do not over compromise their strong product. They listen to me and I listen to them, it has been a great relationship so far. I can't say that for many boat building companies.
