Add the mast cleat. Easy to do. It makes getting the sail up easier and takes pressure off the bottom of the mast tube. Have a great time!I’m 53 and have lived on a lake my whole life (well 27 years permanent and 26 Summers before that) and I finally bought one used before all this COVID fun unfolded. It’s a 1974, with a new sail and I’m thinking about adding a mast cleat (found a thread on this forum about it).
My buddy came over to give me my first lesson today - what a blast! I’m pretty giddy about it so I thought I would share, so thanks for indulging me. Now I have another forum to obsess over as well.
Your advice is great of course! I don't want heyjoel to despair. Looks like we may be out on Tomales tomorrow...can't wait.LOL, norcalsail, I think we were giving the same advise at the same time!
Great photos. She has the same colors as my ‘71, “Ruby”. Enjoy!My buddy came over to give me my first lesson today - what a blast! I’m pretty giddy about it so I thought I would share, so thanks for indulging me.
what great timing. I was just telling somebody about your trip and couldn’t find the link since it was a few years ago that I’d read the story. Thanks for reposting. I read it again using Google maps to follow along your journey.....Read those stories I posted in my 'Laser Island Voyages' thread, first page of the thread, second post... those will take ya right on out there, in a way which no other stories can....
