Hello everyone
I have a 1985 capri 14.2 which I am learning on. I sail in Charleston and so far only in the Stono River. I tow it to the launch in my Jetta and set everything up when I get there. I have been out maybe 6 or 7 times so far in a range of wind conditions, and I am having a lot of fun especially on the windy days.
One question I have: When I sail downwind, I let the mainsheet out, but the sail presses against the shroud a little bit. Is this normal? I don't want the sails to take unnecessary wear because of possible rubbing. I think I have pulled the main halyard all the way tight, I have the outhaul tightened, and the boom vang is attached and is also tight.
Thanks!
