Rick, Wonderful post, thanks for sharing valuable information. A fact about sailing is that there is always more to learn, and conditions will always be different each time we set sail. I indeed did use my kick-up rudder this trip! It worked very well and the kick release jam cleat functioned exactly like it was to suppose to. I also received your CD, thanks for all your photos. I'll be back to the North Channel as well, without a doubt some of the finest cruising grounds I have ever seen.
Later, Bones _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
