In regards to jibs and spreaders: Jake set the spreader rakes after discussing it with Matt, I set the diamond wires to what Jake and I had agreed on. On practice day one jib got about a 5 inch rip poked in it. This sailed was patched by a local loft with dacron sail tape. I made dacron patches for the remaining jibs the following morning and the competitors were warned to be aware of this issue, Matt suggested that the jib really should be sheeted inside the spreader ends. On the 3rd (last) day of racing one jib was poked thru very similar to the first incident. This is the extent of the damage to the jibs.
