Clearwater, FL | Went out sailing yesterday on my new to me P19-MX, sailing down wind was no problem. Sailing up wind, max down haul, almost block to block and the sail kept inverting, doing the crazy S. Does any one know how tight the diamond wires are supposed to be. Any solutions? Wind was 25+ and gusting. Thanks

Long Island, NY | In that kind of breeze you should try to pull on some barber hauler on the jib to open up the slot. That's a decent sized headsail on the MX. Pretty forgiving boat huh?

Clearwater, FL | OK I will try that. I did have the jib in going to weather. Still working on learnig all of the controls. When I got done sailing for the day I thought I was going to have to file a flight plan the way the boat was shaking before getting the sails down.

In that kind of wind, it's going to be tough to make anything look "right".

| Like I said, Don't look up.  I once asked Catman what that noise was coming from my car, his suggestion of "turn the radio up" seemed to handle the issue (till the wheels fell off) | | |
