    Furling Jib

    :confused: I am considering installing a furling jib in the Spring. I had a discussion with a friend who has lots of experiance in racing J22's and Flying Scott's. He does not feel they are worth the money and time. He claims that they are just as hard to handle, maybe more so, than a standard...

    Please help - outboard motor mount

    FYI - Outboard mounting Outboards should be mounted so the cavitation plate is level with and at the same angle as the bottom of the hull. More up angle is faster top end, down angle pulls from the hole faster but is slower. Probably not much noticable difference with a 2hp. To the guy using...

    Brand new

    Paul, Thanks for the tips. This sounds like a good way to do it. The transom will hold the mast, but you have to lift the mast to clear the spreaders when walking it back to fit the step. Can I install a cleat on the deck to make this line fast? Now, I can work on my fear of capsizing!!
