    Hi Ian,

    Have not worked out how to send messages in this forum.  Mango is currently in Med Spain, we have not lined up a broker yet.  You can email us on svmangoelephant@gmail.com and I will reply with phone numbers.

    All the best

    Hey Ian,
    My name is Reuben and I’m in Perth Australia.
    I’m looking at Tikis and wondering about that wing sail, I crew on a Corsair tri and we have all sort of adjustments to sail shape, halyard, outhauls, Cunningham, mast rotation etc.
    What do you use on a wing sail, as best I can make out they just hang there ! Is the sail fixed at the tack so you can at least use halyard tension ?
    What would you like to see?
    The F24 sailors seem to be keen on adding booms to there mains for more control so it has me wondering how the Wing sail might perform with a bit more control?
    I haven’t seen one in the flesh let alone sailed on one but I like the Tiki’s, they look like low stress retirement cruiser for me.
    Was planning on being in England now but covid put paid to that. Planning on this time next year.
    Cheers

    Ian, I’m planning to attend the Cornwall Hui in July. Do you need crew? Jeff
