I took ownership of my 2025 R27 2 months ago. it is our 7th boat since 1983 and a pleasure to run.
i purchased the mantus bridle. it is real easy and improved now as they provide a soft shackle that eliminates the need to wrench it closed/open. in fact, for a short , shallow anchorage, you can use the shackle alone on chain to the windlass cleat .
