Its good kit and probably the cheapest too. Make sure you get the closed top piece otherwise it will catch on your spin halyard.

Has anybody tried the Plastimo twin grooved forestay?

I have a rotostay at the moment, but they dont do a twin grooved foil.

I fitted an 810S over winter to replace an old Rotostay. While very complex to put together read the instructions 3 times before doing anything, it works well, and I believe exceptional value for money in comparison to others. I was having a new forestay fitted and had to discard my old rotostay and my rigger recommended the Plastimo, although I had been looking seriously at Z Spars.

I have a Plastimo on my boat, been there for years, completely un-maintained by previous owners & me, and it still works fine. I have had a look this winter, but apart from a fresh water wash, there was nowt to do. Also the Plastimo UK suppliers technical helpdesk is absolutely fantastic. I called them about renewing the forestay & the guy talked me right through it, even tho the model is a long way out of date and now superceded by better design etc. Thoroughly recommended.
