The walls and roof are now completed for our new 3000 m2 purpose built moulding facility in Costa Rica. The fit out phase will start in the next few days and we are hoping to be up and running by the end of August 2022.
By adding a PT5107 Titanium thimble into the adjuster rope between the toe strap and C828-68AN Aero cleat and reeving your system as shown in the above diagram you can double the tension load you can apply onto the toe strap adjuster system and improve the tensioning pull position when afloat. This is fully race legal as you are only using one piece of rope to tension the toe strap. This set up would be ideal for many other racing dinghies, please check your class rules. For more information on the Toe strap adjuster system please click on the CL828-68 link.

As a class 2 product the Carbon tiller can be used for the original Laser and now ILCA boats at all events up to and including world championships.
We have just taken delivery of our new SISMA Laser Welder which will allow us to speed up tool repairs and modifications. This micro welding machine will allow us to put down tiny amounts of weld, with pinpoint accuracy.
Students from Templewoods Primary school, which is local to our Welwyn Garden City HQ, recently reached out to us, as they are raising money for SloCo which is a UK based charity dedicated to Sloth Conservation in Costa Rica. As we have a manufacturing plant in Cartago, Costa Rica, Julian went along to a recent fund raising event to talk to them about his encounters with sloths in Costa Rica. The students have adopted 3 sloths; Bojangles, Mango and Nacho and we wish them good luck with the rest of their ambitious fundraising plans.
