Hi Colin,
Thanks for the note. I agree with you. The luff pocket for the gunter would have been a nice to have item. The gaff rigs I currently sail are all laced. So, no problem for me. It was always a cosmetic issue for me as it would be nice to have the carbon gunter hidden so the wooden mast is the focus. (as you see in the photos on the home page here).
One more month until by boat arrives!
Regards,
David.
