So how can I get my Nacra 5.2 rudder system to let me lower the rudders all the way. It sailed beautifully for the first part of the day today (wind 5-7 MPH). Later, the wind kicked up to close to 10-12 MPH and I was armwrestling the rest of the day. Any ideas?
I used to tie stopper knots in my holddown lines; the PivMatics still worked fine. Later I learned that I could release the PivMatic, pull the rudders down, start to cleat the line, and push the PivMatic down to "lever" the line tighter. Having good cleats and good line, that match one another for size, helps too.
