On Friday I had my first sail on my new boat! It was an awesome feeling, everything was perfect except for that it was 4 knots of wind, gusting at 15! so It was pretty much on/off/on/off. I have to tighten everything up next time Im going sailing, but also resolve my vang problem, it seemed to long, so I couldnt get any tension on itand had a very twisting sail at the top. 
A pulley on the vang system broke half way through aswell, so I had to make something up and tie the kicker directly to the boom, with out a pulley.
I also think that I have to get some acetone or something and get rid of all the sponsorship from Andrew Brown and Nick Fentons sails, there is alot!
anyway, have to work mornings on the weekend, so wont do much sailing then, but im trying to rally people up and go for a sail on tuesday

Put it in the sun and start peeling.
ReplyDeleteTurps is best to get any sticky stuff off, but don't just tip it on it'll melt the seam stick
