I had some difficulty using the hold down line method.  I had the loop just under the spreaders and the line tied down at the gooseneck.  Mast was unbalanced and coming out at an angle. If the load is transferred to the gooseneck (or some other lower spot) by the hold down line, won't that also

So does everyone usually slide the strap or line up to the spreaders to lift the mast out? I've been doing that, but the marina operator thinks that's wrong.  He suggested that I keep it a few inches lower and tie off the tail of the line to the gooseneck.  I tried that and the mast was

LIke others, I found the 12-15kt slot to be the sweet spot for the mk 1.  I noted that many took advantage of the extra power provided by 170% gennys for light air.  The downside is that you pay the handicap penalty for all races, so it's only worthwhile if you live in a light air location. Our

Most phrf stations have the genny penalty of 3sec/mi for each 10% of overlap over 155%.  So a 165% would only be 3sec/mi. If you have a lot of light air (under 10kts), it's something to consider for this boat.  You can carry a 155% to over 15kts; just have a bubble in the front part of the

Sam, While the draft change is minimal, the entry of the luff changes with halyard tension in the newer materials.  You can check this by experiment.  Set the jib halyard hand tight and note the angle of the luff entry; then tighten the halyard a lot and note how the entry of the jib moved.
