Funny. You should post on Reddit.

You may not want to drive this far but if you don't find anything in Charleston, I have family in Beaufort and I could tell you a few sites there.

What about the rudder foil? See this picture of a Laser kit... https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1097815_10151826975919636_1443782359_o.jpg

This is a great thread... learning a lot!

That is a great description. Let me see, sales & marketing or a creative writing professor?

Were they talking about the English Channel? That's over a mile deep!

Reading this wikipedia artcile, it doesn't seem it's possible to do this for boats with less than 2 sails? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaving_to Tequila was always more likely to cause me to heave than vodka.

Regarding dirty sail... I know it is generally verboten and I would never do it on a newer sail but I just washed one in a LG front-load washer. This washer is a lot easier on clothes then my old top-load Kenmore. I wanted to wash the decades of grime/clay/mud from the sail as well as give the...

The other option is the board made by Intensity Sails.

My frame of reference are Hobie Cats which point better.

Had trouble keeping my sail up yesterday. Factory method of attachment of halyard to upper spar is a clove hitch next to some wraps of electrical tape which acts as both marker and to prevent sliding. The tape was getting old in the way that electrical tape does and started to "creep" as did...
