Hi Guys,
I got the CD last Thusday and it IS very informative (sorry 'bout the caps) and it IS very much oriented to heavy wind, wave sailing. There are one or two chapters toward light wind technique, but even with these infformative chapters, the wind seems to be around five knots...
You might think about tightly inserting a wooden dowel into the hollow recess of the extension.
Last year I cut down my mountain bike's hollow carbon fiber seat tube. As I cut through the hollow center of the seat tube, the innermost portion of the carbon fiber started to delaminate.

All right, time for my questions.
Here in Arizona there is plenty of light wind, so we are sitting in front of the centerboard most of the time. My old extension is too short for this and I am about to by a Rooster extension. I think I want the thin one (13mm) with the grip on it. Are there...
