Preparations

In order to be able to enjoy my new asymetric light cloth sail, I had to make a few adjustments, or complementations to Arpex. The bow has received a "hornlet", which is there to avoid the spi sheet to fall into the water.
I also added a few lines from the forward beam to the bow, to help prevent the sail from going into the water. On port side I have also added such line. I should actually make it out of spectra. That would add a safety factor for working on the bow.

Also, I have been working on the spi's sheeting point. A carbon structure spreads the load conveniently on different hull points.
