    Carbon or Aluminium?

    I didnt have to reduce mine and Ive never broken it. Been sailing for 2 and 1/2 years with this carbon fiber one.

    New centre plate

    I havent made a handle for my board and I dont even notice when pulling it up or down. I would say it is personal preference...

    The Road to Peeps (Easter Laser Regatta)

    I will drive down leaving Friday at 3pm. Takes me about 3 hours. I would go earlier but my fiance gets off work at 8am and she wants to sleep before we leave and she cant sleep in the car. I will sail in fort worth Friday during the day to get some more boat time. See you soon...

    de power

    Cunningham, cunningham and when you think you have it on tight try harder. Twinkies, and chipoltle burritos have 1995 calories in them. And to get your legs prepared do a bunch of squats or lunges.

    3M Marine Sealent

    Yeah I just use regular ol silicone. When I was a kid I used 5200 and when it came time to reseal later it was really hard to get things apart and resealed. My boat never leaks with the standard stuff.

    How To Install A Self Bailer First Time?

    I have found that using an overkill of silicone around the edges helps produce more suction than without. Making the water empty out a bit faster than the other way (without silicone). I did take a cloth and wipe the excess off so that it had less drag.

    Easter Laser Regatta

    Merrily look forward to seeing you there... I hope this gets an even bigger turnout due to the J22 MW's. Im going home tonight and doing a bunch of squats on my power rack to prepare for the long heavy air upwind legs. Ive been practicing for the cold by going out in the sleet and snow... I hope...
