Toe Straps

[heymacaulay]

Hi Petro,

To the best of my knowledge there are no restrictions on toe straps. Just make sure they are attached to a strong point of the boat. Most people attach them to the front buoyancy tank while others attach them to the front of the centreboard case. I have even seen one boat with two sets of toe straps – one led to the front for beating, the other set attached out wide for hiking when going downwind on heavy days. I think this is a bit excessive, but it emphasises the flexibility you have within the rules.

Thanks Alan for the advice and your suggestions.

I’ll replace them sometime over the next few weeks, ready for the second part of our season.

Cheers
