Installation:
Follow the installation guide.
Be sure to measure from the ends of the track to the center of the bow.
Remeasure often as you go through the process.
This is where you order the adhesive you want.

How much weight does the self tacking kit add? Also the jib looks slightly different. Any feedback on performance vs. the Blue North Jib?
Based on this article in Weta News the ST Jib is 10% smaller. It is a different cut because the lead is in a different position. I have not noticed any real performance difference other than it's really easy to tack and gybe, but I haven't raced with it yet. Reportedly most of the Ausies are racing with the ST.
I've asked Roger about the weight of the kit.
From Roger Kitchen:
"If you allow for the lighter sail and cut down on the jib sheet length allowing for the glue and 2 small blocks you are really only adding 1kg (2.2 lbs) max.
More important is what you had for lunch.
With the smaller area and it does not seem slower but the meters gained through tacks and gybes it seems a no brainer."
Thanks Alan!
New post on the Weta Marine website. A review of the ST.

Almost sounds like Peter Hackett is not restricting the jib car at all. I'll try that this weekend and report back.
