Hey Mike, I added the sail and ama's to my revo and adventure a couple of months ago. I fish and sail Mission Bay all the time. Usually in the Revo. I tend to sail over by the ski beach area so if you see me say hi. I went through all kinds of stuff before I got things rigged the way I wanted. If your looking for cam cleats look me up before you buy any. Ron is a great guy and helps me all the time but I found a lot of the hardware I needed cheaper at sundown marine in El Cajon. They also have a cam cleat that was around 5 bucks that was better for my use then the ones Ron at Fastlane gave. |

Here's a "boombat" -- an extra sail batten slipped through the foot of the sail with a wire-nut screwed on the end for easy gripping. This prevents the sail from curling around the mast when running downwind and shapes it a little better in light winds. Before furling the sail, it must be removed and can be stored in the hull. open source screen capture Ever wonder why the sides of the cockpits are scalloped? This is a sailing feature; you can use them to brace your feet on when running under sail power only, sailing in heavier winds or gusty conditions. Ideally you would wedge your downwind foot in a suitable scallop and use your upwind foot to keep the Drive pedals even (ie: fins down in the daggerboard position). . The Adventure shown here has a separate daggerboard so you can ignore the pedals and stick both feet in scallops if necessary. This helps you to hike out in stronger wind. Of course this is rarely necessary in the Oasis because of its much greater stability under sail, but there if you need them. |
