Re: Stus-List Preventer or boom brake for C/1

On my boat, I installed two spinnaker pole downhauls, one on each side of the boat, on a block attached close to the bow. These downhaul then head back to the cockpit. I use these downhaul for the spinnaker of course, but also as a preventer, attached to the main sheet eye at the end of the

Hi Tom, Yes, the spreader should be upward biased and 10 degrees is the correct angle. That is to ensure the angle formed between the spreader and the shroud are the same above and below the spreader. Now, this angle is usually obtained through the fitting on the mast. I’m unclear from your

Hi Dave, i would suggest you keep your pole for now. The six inch difference is not much and means two things: with the wind fully aback, the six inch difference will mean a slight deficit in opening of the spinnaker and; on a close-reach, when you have to pull down the pole, the shorter pole

Hi David, To answer your question, we need to go back a bit to the origin the cunningham. Well, the main sail is up and properly tensioned, which mean that the halyard point is close to the mast top block to use the full length of your mast. Wind is light, not too much tension is needed on the

Re: Stus-List Training weather?

Curtis, - Observation #1: Heavy weather starts much earlier upwind than downwind. Whatever combination of sails that will be good upwind will be too small downwind. Upwind, nothing is more fun than a real jib especially cut for the weather. Don't forget that 20 knots true becomes 25 knots

It seems that many recommend bringing back the lines to the cockpit for single handling. Well, allow me to trow a little rock in the pound and challenge a bit that idea. I too have single handed a lot and personally, I prefer to have my lines at the mast. I know, it goes against common wisdom

A good idea would be to cover your shroud with quarter inch plastic tubing for the first, say, five feet. With this, the sheet will rub against the plastic rather than the cable. No chaffing this way. It's good to have it anyway to prevent chaffing all week at the slip when the genoa is furled
