As well as the designs of boats I think that we should not forget the fly away jib stick. I know that whilst it is not a design it has given the 12s and a lot of other boats much better down wind performance and handling as well as allowing helms and crews to save an amount of finger nails as they do not have to move forward and therfore stop quite so many nose dives that as a young crew I certainly remember. Thanks should go to Professor Pat Pending (Elcombe) for all the work he did on this important piece of kit.
