A nice slow motion pitch pole did wonders for my sails <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />


What's a "nice slow motion pitch pole"??? All of my pitch poles were quick, violent "How did I suddenly get in the water?" affairs!!!! Anyway, I've heard a mild mix of Oxalic Acid works well, I've never tried it, my preference would be mild soap and water, scrubbed on the lawn. If that didn't do it I'd step up and try Oxygen bleach, as it worked VERY well when I soaked my sheets after way to many years under an almond tree.


This was one of my first couple of times getting on the wire solo.

Started to climb out in just enough breeze to feel comfortable. Winds were slightly gusty and a bit shifty. Sure enough, just as I got out here comes a gust from behind . Bows dig in, it was like a very gentle nudge. I had plenty of time to realize not only did I need to find a place to land, but that I was going to be very cold in a few short seconds. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
