Curtis,
These are some basic racing questions. You will probably learn more,
faster, if you crew on someone else's boat. Alternatively some of the
listers might have some suggestions for a learn to race book. Most learn
to sail sailing for dummies type books have a section for racing too.

It's all about sail shape in coordination with the helm. In general, very full
sails are more powerful but won't let you point as high. Flat sails are slower
but allow for higher pointing. Assuming you're going into a downwind leg, you
want your sails to be as spinnaker like as possible.
Hi,
If it is like the new MkIV it should ride on the wire ( about 5/16 from the
swage end ).
Looking at your pictures looks like it is a pretty old model, maybe a new MkIV
would be a good thing ( especially at the 1,200 price).
The new MkIV is essentially a do-it yourself kit, including

First, obtain and read North U.'s two books by Bill Gladstone, Racing Trim
and Performance Racing Tactics. Although there are lots of books on sail
trim (Sail Power by Wallace Ross, old but good, for instance), North U's
books are easy to read and understand.

I suggest you find some books or videos on racing, sail trim, etc.

What caused the damage to the top of the extrusion? Hard to tell from the pic.
Need to figure that out.
Yes, you can cut the extrusion off, but only if you have enough extra at the
bottom inside the torque tube to be able to slide the extrusion assembly upward
so it rides on the
Hi Dennis Peter,
I would say when, not if, you replace that forestay. The gap showing
in the lay of the wire in this pic would lead me to inspect for a
broken strand (or two).

Russ, I think the wire is just coming unlaid. Looks like it may have been
twisted against the lay somehow.
I'd still replace it.

Hi Jim,
In order for the wire to unlay like that it will need to grow
shorter, pin-to-pin, a slight amount.
My forestay looked similar to that when I replaced the gang 5 years
ago. It had two broken strands hiding under a Harken Mark I furler.

Hi folks:
Our original teak handrails on deck are in need of attention. They are
leaking, but also need to be refinished and I'd prefer to not have to sand
and apply 5-6 coats of Cetol.
Has anyone tried the 'Plasteak' had rails on deck? If so, are you happy
with the results or do they look

Others will jump in with more current info but my experience in the Bahamas is
very easy and varies widely based on who you meet. Great place to cruise,
Absolutely loved it.
Enjoy, I'm very jealous

Peter,
It looks like there's a block for an external halyard being held out of the way
in the pic. I'd have a better idea if I'd climbed the rig myself but is it
possible that this block rubbed the damage on the extrusion? Although not to
the degree I see in your pic, Touche's masthead had a

Steve — what is your port of entry? I entered via Bimini a few years back, and
it was a fast and straight-forward process; just make sure you have the Q flag
up, and nobody leaves the boat except the captain until all clearing-in
procedures are completed. They may send someone down to do a

We checked in at Bimini one year and Morgan's Bluff the second year. At
Morgan's Bluff the office ran out of forms. I went to the airport, so I
could complete both immigration and customs procedures. Others did not.
Later we were boarded and were OK. Later some others were boarded who, I
