The luffs on both sails are a smidgeon too long. The jib is virtually maxed out on the forestay. Any stretch and it will sag. The roach on the full batten main snags on the backstay a bit in light air jibes. One of the battens is a bit too long and needs to be trimmed. The luff slugs on the main tend to jam. They both need telltales. Hopefully, nothing I can't solve. But even with all that, it's a better sailing boat. And sneaking by bigger boats is becoming more and more common. It could get habit forming! Howard PS. I did get waxed by a 31 footer flying only his main, but he also had his motor running. Once he shut that off and rolled out his jib, I was able to keep him in sight. For a puny little 17 footer, she is starting to get some attention. _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
