    Rooster Video

    Hi Guys, I got the CD last Thusday and it IS very informative (sorry 'bout the caps) and it IS very much oriented to heavy wind, wave sailing. There are one or two chapters toward light wind technique, but even with these infformative chapters, the wind seems to be around five knots...

    Wooden daggerboard and rudder?

    My 8783 has wood blades. 1973 issue. I refinished them two years ago and they look great!

    Carbon Extension cutoff

    You might think about tightly inserting a wooden dowel into the hollow recess of the extension. Last year I cut down my mountain bike's hollow carbon fiber seat tube. As I cut through the hollow center of the seat tube, the innermost portion of the carbon fiber started to delaminate. If I...

    Restoring Wooden Blades

    Another trick for the groove at the top of the centerboard is to wrap your sandpaper around a socket (I think I used a 11/16" deep). It also works well for the back side of wooden grab rails.

    Rooster

    I ordered a hiking stick directly from Rooster and after shiping they wanted almost $400 USD for the thing. I then asked customer service at APS if they could get the same carbon stick from Rooster. They replied that it would take a few weeks, but they would do it and it only cost $160. The only...

    year of boats

    I guess I win! A 1973 PSL with the number of 8783. Dry hull after I replaced the auto-bailer. I'm not sure how stiff the hull is since I sail on a lake in windless Arizona. But, she is pretty competitive! And looks really cool with wood blades!

    Tillers

    Okay, Move my vote from wood to carbon. I just bent over and ordered a Rooster tiller. I was tired of the slop that my out of shape wood tiller was giving me...

    Fatso Jr. extension

    All right, time for my questions. Here in Arizona there is plenty of light wind, so we are sitting in front of the centerboard most of the time. My old extension is too short for this and I am about to by a Rooster extension. I think I want the thin one (13mm) with the grip on it. Are there...
