Mike Wilson convinced me to go to MW on Friday and set up our boats because of the large turnout. It should be a good learning experience for us - last year the f18s sailed with the open fleet.If the average windspeed is 18knots+ I will probably not race but practice tacks ,jibes,downwind sailing.Mike - consider getting another set of ratchet blocks for the spin. The sheet also hurt my hands even at 8knots but with 2 pair I felt fine this saturday at 12-14knots.Unfortunately,the non ratchet blocks on the front cross bar are riveted. You can drill the rivets out and re-rivet them or save time and destroy the Holt blocks with a hacksaw.
