That is how all homebuilders start out sailing the boat. I know of no single exception !

But congratulations with your achievement. It is a real boat now. All the items added later are just "performance improvements".


Thanks, felt pretty good after sailing <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

Looks like your mast rotation is still very tight, if so then I would let it out some more.


Yeah, we had two issues while on water. First my boom was too bendy, so we couldn't sheet her properly or use full outhaul. Also the mast rotation control was a quick hack and didn't provide enough adjustability for mast. Anyway I know from experience that boats are never done, there is always some fine tuning to be done <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.
