No more guessing around, i was the boat with the camera, the metal boom hook/sleeve bent open and the boom was held by the main sheet and later was tied behind the boat with the outhaul while we tried to rig some sort of arrangement, so we could sail home, but with not much luck. We had to tow...

Hi,
I was wondering what people use to carry there foils when going on plain trips for regattas, i have seen like hard case ones where do get those from.
Thanks
I heard from someone that you should sail with a new sail in some light wind first and he reconds that a hyde sail needs 6 races before it has hight and is ready for racing and a north is good out of the box :rolleyes:??? Is this true??? I am talking about radial sails here.
keep the boat flat !!!!!!!!!!!! hike harder or ease a bit of main sheet and make sure that you have enough boom vang on (when you are block to block and ease the main the boom should go side ways not up). And heaps of downhaul.
hope it helps :D
Hi,
I sometimes find it hard to see the gusts and were they are going,
people have recommended to wear sunglasses.
Does anybody have a suggestion on what are really good sunglasses for sailing?
Thanks :cool:
