Posts: 1,203 uk | Windy i take it that you have got a new jib. Have you changed the mainsail too? Do you think that a square top would work on the 'soft' diamond rig of the TheMightyHobie18?
I find that you only need 2 track positions on a self tacker - In a bit from the end for flat water or right out for rough/windy.

Posts: 396 Annapolis Md. | Man you guys will hijack a thread in a heartbeat. I was looking for the thread on the CSC New Years Regatta when I found this so I'm jumping in here. Weather looks good. Not much breeze but good temps. I'm hoping to get on down there if I don't have to work and if y'all don't mind someone from this close to the Mason Dixon line murking up the spring fed lake down there. Ed
Still hazey after all these beers. F-16 Falcon #212
