Unfortunately I posted a poor photo, but it's all I have at the moment. The TI is in dry storage until we can find a house in our new city.

The feather actually pivots on a thin meat skewer & the skewer is inserted into the webbing at the top of the sail. As the feather is naturally waterproof, water doesn't affect it. I have been using feathers for over 15 years of racing & I have found them to be the most reliable, even in sub-zero temps. (Yes when I was young & silly, I used to race dinghies in all weather conditions!) Now i'm too old & soft!

Your photoshop skills are right up there with Stringy's. :lol:

Always the pesimist arn't you Richard ! See I'm the optimist. I was thinking it would miss me and spear that 20kg jewfish that was swimming alongside.

In fact I have a confession. I only screwed in the fluro broadhead to see if I would get a reaction. Before I go sailing I plan to take it off altogether. It's good to know we all have each others backs.

Well played then,..!

Though I prefer "safety-minded skeptic" to pessimist.
"Frugal gourmet" to cheap bassard.
And "uniquely rugged-looking" to butt-ugly. ;-)

Hmmm... I like that term 'frugal gourmet'. It could well explain why we have this thread and I'm not just talking about Slaughters renown cooking skills! :wink:

PS: Mate if I'd Photoshopped that you know it would have been you in the pic.
