Brobru,
Remarkable; and you were sure that all the tension on the leech was released ? I mean were the mainsheet blocks uncleated AND was the line free to run trhough the blocks ? Sometime the mainsheet hangs on something.
Did you also run down you traveller all the way ?
I'm sure you did but I just want to be sure.
But from the describtion you give leaving the downhaul on seems wise.
Anyway Brobru do you know you were the poster that posted the 1000nd post on this F16 forum ? Conrgats ! No you havne't won anything, but the eternal honour is your nevertheless.
And I'm sure we don;t mind you jumping in here, EVEN though you sail a I-17 ! (Joke !)
How much do you weight, Brobru ?
Wouter
