Insurance for Weta Florida regattas
I am going to the Wetafest next week and have been trying to get the required $100,000 liability insurance. My agent has checked Progressive, Travelers, Geico, and others but they are not writing multihull policies. Anywhere. I did connect with US Sailing who has an affiliate insurance agent that did get me a policy for the Alter cup but they are unable to write a policy in Florida. Im kinda in a panic at this point so any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks to you all for your help on getting insurance. I was able to slip under the radar on line and get a Progressive policy. What a great group of helpful people!
This Weekend is the Lake Santa Fe Swarm.
I have confirmed that so far 4 Weta Trimarans will be swarming the waters of Lake Santa Fe, this weekend. Three Weta owners live near the lake and they will all be sailing plus I will be sailing my Weta. This is a free event. No charge for camping or launching at Lakeside Landing 572 SE 16th Street, Melrose, Florida near Gainesville. Boats can be left mast up, over night at the launch site. Read the event description under events on the Weta North America Class Site. If you need more info call me 954-579-1289. Rick's Small Sailboats LLC

Linnett Decksweeper Jib Bridle
I noticed this mod, developed by Bryan Linnett, at the Australian Nationals and thought it was worth sharing.
It improves the effectiveness of the jib by turning it into a decksweeper thus cleaning up the airflow (as seen on other dinghies) and also moves the jib forward which makes the Clew adjustment holes in the jib more useful (especially for the ST where the rear 2 holes are normally behind the track car). All it requires are 1m x 4mm Dyneema and a small soft shackle. There are more photos and full instructions on the WetaForum

Paul, it makes sense that improves the self tacking jib performance. I have been shortening my strop for the forestay and found that greatly improved the jib's fit between its tack and the track. I'm not sure if WCNA's one design rules will allow Mr Linnett's alteration, but I'll investigate that.

Hello Franck, There are actually 2 tire sizes that will work on the Custom Weta Road King trailer. They both have 4 lug nuts. The two sizes that work are: 4.80/4.00-8 and 4.80-12 and the tire size is not the only consideration. Tires have a speed rating. If you tow your Weta on the highway you want a high speed rated tire. Also Bias vs Radial tires. Recently experts have started recommending Radial Tires for trailer tires, but as recently as a couple years ago Bias were considered the best for trailer tires. If you are only replacing one tire be sure not to mix Bias and Radial on the same trailer. I have both sizes in stock but only in Bias which is the type that come with a Weta Trailer. The tires I have in stock are the same Kendra Load Star brand that come with the Road King custom Weta Trailers and are High Speed Rated for towing at Highway Speeds. I will be at Weta Fest and the Alter Cup and I have both size tires in my van as well as many other Weta spare parts. Please call if you have more questions. Rick Upson Sail 1422.
