I would add that having witnessed DynaRig in action it is indeed an amazingly simple-to-operate yet powerful rig design and implementation. I think that MF has proved the point about this style of rig, and there will others who will use this in the future. Clearly, with all new things, it takes a while for people to get used to the look of it, and for some this may be a stumbling block that they cannot overcome. But if you wish to set sail quickly DynaRig is unbeatable in this size of yacht. And Tom is of course right, Mirabella will never achieve that number of sail set and stow cycles.
Discovery Channel took some great video of us sailing at over 18.5 knts, and they will air their show in December, after which we will be able to air our version of it also. I think you guys will like it.
