Hey everyone! I just unflaked my new full, I got it from my old coach, whose had it for a few years, and when I bought it, he told me it was the "old" style cut... It looks the exact same as all of my other practice sails, and its definitely less than 5 years old. Is there truth to this...

Hello again everyone! For the past month, whenever I go out and practice, my mainsheet messes things up when I head downwind. Its been blowing less than 5 when this happens. So now im on the look for a new mainsheet! APS has a selection that includes Excel Fusion and Rooster, along with a few...

Hey guys! I have this bright idea of lightening up my regatta costs with a sponsorship from my friends dads company. My idea was to give a price range and whatnot, then offer to display their logo on my sail/boat. I havent looked deep into the rules on this, but it seems like the Olympians have...

Hey there guys! I have a quite massive chip on the trailing edge of my daggerboard, of course its JUST below the daggerboard well, so its in the water while going upwind. Its about the size of 2 quarters put together. I was thinking I could fix it with some MarineTex and some small nails...

Hey guys! I came across a old full, It has the class sticker, and 3.8oz cloth, but no royalty button, or brand name... The cloth seems very stiff, like alot of resin was used. The numbers are 2257, nothing in front or behind! Just 4 digits! They were put on with magic marker, with precision, not...

Hey guys, Im looking at getting a new carbon tiller and extension... I was wondering if the acme was still the top choice? Or is it really worth the extra 50 bucks to get a rooster? Yeah, 50, not 100! Look on the rooster website! Also with extensions, stick with the acme extensions? Forespar was...

Hey guys, a little late on posting, but tomorrow im heading to Davis Island for a regatta. Im back sailing lasers after switching from them 420's for about 2 years! I weigh 175, but the regatta only has radials and 4.7's... So what are some tips for a heavy guy like myself to keep up the speed...

Hey guys! Im making the switch back to lasers, fulls this time! Im coming from 420's, and before that I was in a radial, and before that, a 4.7! Im really excited! Im 5'11, and weigh 175... is this about average? Is it any different sailing a full, rather than a radial or 4.7? Aside from the...

Hello everyone! About every 3 years im in need of a new lifejacket. Ive been looking at APS and havent found much. I had the Extrasport RetroGlide Avenger, but they no longer make it, and I cant find it anywhere online, so im out of luck! :/ Their new designs seem like they are more economical...

Hey everyone, I know there has been another thread about watches going around, and ive gone through it, but I didnt find what I was looking for... My past 2 watches have been the Ronstan Sailing Watch, not the big display one, but the black, everyday one... The first time it got water in it, I...
