pulley whip

You can shorten the pulley whip down to 350mm although most that I know of go to about 400. The advantage is that you can now get more tension on the leech(back) of the sail. You will notice that in some winds the leech actually "flaps" if not under tension and this is slow.

The biggest difference will come from the use of the CRBs. Go try them.

Please excuse me for my ignorance but what are CRB's? I am new to blokarting here in the USA.

Hi Rick

CRB = Carbon Race Base. It used to apply to the bottom 2 sections (Base) of the mast where carbon fibre sections replaced the fibreglass ones. Now carbon fibre sections are available for the whole mast. But the name has tuck.

CRB's (Carbon Race Base) are two lower mast sections made from carbon fibre. They are more rigid than the normal mast sections so keep the mast straighter, which in turn provides a more efficient sail profile. They are an official blokart accessory available through your local blokart distributor.
