Hey guys, finally the weather became warm enough down in florida to take my Prindle 19 out. After many attempts to get the mast up, I took the time to make sure all the wires were not tangled and that did the trick. Also, the jib haylard must have been old because it broke on me while raising the jib so I went under Main only. I would assume the boat would have been noticably faster with the jib? I also need to figure out how to control mast rotation because when sailing up wind with the sail almost in the middle line of the boat, the mast rotator would be facing 90 degrees to the sail, which im sure wasn't helping my speed. All in all the boat was pretty fast even with little wind it would glide along the water.
Thanks,
pete
