The clown who did it used to many..... and saddled a dead horse.
I thought with a light racer you would want to be able to adjust the
rake of the mast to tweak preformance. The Commode will never win with
that cheap set-up.
If you look at the Japanese Rob and his Radio Girls boat you will see
it rigged properly.

Also notice that the bilge pump is kicking on on the Radio boat?
Indicates that all bennies have bad stuffing boxes, or worse packing
less systems.
