Decide if you are going to be primarily 1-up or 2, there's a big difference.

Try to keep the pointy end up! I'm dead serious! This is a whole new ball game!

Recognize that this is a more complex boat, allow more time for set-up and tear down. Robbie and Matt zip right through this, mere mortals take longer.

When you're flying the spin, always be aware of the main sheet. It acts as a back stay. If it comes loose, you could break your mast.

Be very clear in your mind about the righting drill, you'll need it.

A new thread is probably a good idea. Timbo and I sometimes get carried away! grin

Congratulations on the new boat! You're gonna love it!!

. . . And, if there's no pictures, it didn't happen!

. . . And, ATRS (Alabama Trash Righting System) carry a couple of heavy plastic bags to fill with water to help with the righting process.
