    Rivet for mast base plug?

    So the conclusion is that Laser does not provide the right type of rivet, is it the case still, I need to replace mine too.

    Tiller dimension and passenger

    Allright, so yours is about 68" (44+24) and mine is 85" (39 + 46), it's a big difference of 17 inches !

    Tiller dimension and passenger

    Anyone knows what should be the dimension of a tiller + tiller extension to be comfortable when sailing with a passenger. I have a Ronstan carbon tiller that is much too long (tiller 39" and extension 46") What is the dimension of a standard genuine wood tiller + the extension ?

    Hiking strap adjustment setup

    Hi, I don't see that on the picture, I' sorry. All I have to do referring to my picture is to take the free end as it is right now and insert it into the bowline, that's all ?

    Hiking strap adjustment setup

    Hi, sorry for the delay ... the season is ending here and I just tried the Salingmania setup. It works a lot better than my first pic but still needs some adjustment. I think Eric mentioned that we could do even better !? can you explain, I'm not sure.

    Hiking strap adjustment setup

    I think I understand what you mean, I was thinking about doing a similar modification too. Whenever I have a new tested setup I'll post a picture, if you have one than feel free to share it

    Hiking strap adjustment setup

    Eric, it's what I had before, it works, I was only trying to improve the system. I tried with another line type (Dacron) with the same setup as my picture and I have the same problem. By the way both lines I used are 5 mm. Salingmania, your idea looks interesting.

    Hiking strap adjustment setup

    I took the idea in Davison`s book, however I found that the line slips and the strap adjustment gets loose rapidly. I'm wondering if this could be causes by the type of line I'm using that is rather slippery. I can't sail with that setup, my next step would be to try with a different kind of...

    Vang Help!!

    The more I read the more I'm confused, it's hard to believe that there is so much difference for something like maximum off position, you must admit that 6" down and "right above horizontal" is not the same position at all (at least on my boat). Personally I adopted the horizontal position...
