As this is my first season, they are pretty basic, but make a big difference in the wind we'll have this week. One was simply where do you put the stick when taking down the spin? (I sail single handed). The first answer I got was tuck it between your bent legs as you kneel to pull down the spin. It keeps it steady and well within reach should things go bad.

The second was even more basic, but had to do with keeping your mast from flapping side to side in high winds on the beach. Two answers - center the mast rotation and cleat or pull the mast rotation to the side & tie off so that more of a profile is facing the wind.
