Thanks Thomas, Howard, Paint4real and Ron for the pointer to Sailrite! I
should have just looked in the archives - I remember sailrite mentioned here
before. Thanks for patiently writing it for me again though.
Thanks to Howard too, for the ideas on sail handling/raising, etc. I have to
admit that I knew that the 150 genny was likely to be overkill the day I went
out singlehanding, but I also have to admit that I was hoping for an exciting,
wild ride that day. Most of the three-hour trip was just brisk breeze and some
mild breezes too, but when the breeze came up for that one stretch - I got just
what I was looking for. I was laughing out loud at a couple of points, just
because I'd missed the excitement of hang-on-for-dear-life sailing over these
last years. I do have a regular (not storm) jib that I use normally. It was
ridiculously fun being over the top that day, but was a little worried about
breaking the boat somehow since I'm still so new to it, and she is old. I do
need to practice my reefing system too, my main has one only one line of reef
points.
