    new replacement universal

    I bought a universal joint to replace my broken one in my rooster carbon tiller extension. I am trying to remove it form the extension but I don't want to brake it applying too much force. Is there any trick to remove it easily? Thanks

    Hand made clew tie down

    There are other issues that also make people look for another way to fix things, like the O-rings for the laser bailer. I also made my own strap, but not as well done as yours!

    I used several weighs from the club gym to messure the reliability. I think the error would be + - 1kg. Sailing fast is a state of mind, you know. I am doing all this thing just to be sure I am the problem, not the boat. :D

    Centerboard movement

    I saw people holding the centerboard going downwind in light air, I was wondering why, now I know the answer. Thanks! But, what about medium and heavy air?. Too much speed to worry about it?

    Centerboard movement

    I tried to search but I didn't find anything. How do you stop your centerboard when it is moving from side to side going downwind? I heard something about a tape in the top leading edge ... I think that centerboard movement is against speed, and those bumps are killing me!:D thanks!
