Will Blue Water Yachts be selling kits to make upgrades to stock boats?

Yes, kits will be available very soon for a lot of the rigging and hardware stuff.  We will have kits for running backstays, 2 to 1 mainsail traveler conversion, mast base bearing, and mast rotation control all available this fall.

Of course we already have the Tape Drive sails available as a special order item.  We have all the measurements we need to make Jibs, Genoas, or Mainsails for 26 Classics, 26X's and 26M,s.  We will have more info on spinnakers as we gain experience with ours.

We hope to be offering a bowsprit kit in the future, we just aren't sure yet if it will be fixed or articulating.  We still have quite a bit of testing to do before this is ready to sell.

We are also working on either a kit, or do-it-yourself instructions to add lead inside the stock daggerboard.  This mod is reasonably simple to do and does make a noticeable difference.
