Don,

Thanks for your help with everything! Most of the advice you gave us that one time made a tremendous difference when we hit the water again. The main one being the rig tension (We can point with the best of them now). I am still a little confused on where the Jib blocks should be for varying wind conditions. I know it is a little different than the boats that have the small jib.

You had some killer looking spin blocks too? They had 2 feeder blocks. I think? They looked a lot liked the ones Randy used in the Worrell. I have been unable to find anything like that on the market. I already have the doubler on there. I have thought of using racheting fiddle blocks back there just to get some more rope touching the big sheave. That spin is too large for most conditions unless it is really light. I have a small one I use too. Not sure of the size. Probably a 325. It seems to work as good as the 455 in most conditions.

I will definitely try to make the race in June! I enjoy sailing over there. Wish it was closer.....
