Next weekend will be warm! Keep the boat out! And wear a wetsuit...

Here are some photos of me on the water with different setups and of my Jens rigging, unfortunately none of me laying all the way out!

Setup: I have the newer shape wooden board, my boat is AMF 1981 with original sail. I have a harken ratchet as suggested by the my2fish blog person and a dyneema bridle from Intensity. I made an outhaul and pulled the bottom of my sail as tight as I could. I don't have a cunningham setup that...

How do you reef a lanteen? I was still getting blasted on port tacks. I have a Flite12 sail (same size as minifish) than I need to mount up to some spars for use in heavy wind. Maybe it wasn't really all that heavy and I need to get my butt over the rail more- I was fully stretched out with foot...

Ok, well, last sat I could not keep the boat down with the standard halyard position so I attempted the Jens. I don't have any skinny line to have two halyards so I made a loop through the mast head with a piece of spectra cord and ran my halyard through that about 16" from the head. I tied the...

So it looks like in your picture there is a piece of rope tied that creates the lower positioning of the upper spar, then you have two ropes and can adjust up or down depending on wind. It looks like in the "gust" video he uses the Jens line to make that loop, instead of a short piece of line...

Hello! So after work I have 16/17 mph winds forecast with higher gusts, I weight 160lbs. I think I understand how to de power my sail by pulling the outhauls tight and gooseneck adjustment. I watched the "gust adjust" video and I think I'll be able to to tie things up like that, but I have not...

Hello, I am in the process of drying out an 81 sunfish hull while sailing an Alcort early 70s boat that is in rough shape. All the lines are in rough shape and I'd like to replace them. At the moment, I had not planned on racing, but I would like to make sure the boat can handle heavier winds...

Does anyone know what insignia this is ? It’s on a sail and rigging that I’m looking at tomorrow, trying to find clues. Looks like off a sunfish clone?
