[#10811]

I'm trying to get to Heckscher on Monday, Oct 14th, Columbus day with my

boat. (Unless I have to watch both kids all day). A few others have shown

interest. Maybe we could do something? Can anyone bring bathroom scales?

I have two.

Maybe we can make this "Weigh-Day at Heckscher" ?? If it's nice, we'll go

sailing!

We don't got no stinkin' scales, but I'll be there to sail/race!

Hi,
Sailing is done here. The high today was 25 deg F (-4 C).

My halyard pops out occasionally, but not often. Are you completely releasing the downhaul? Maybe it needs just a little tension. Mast bend may have something to do with it to. I have very little pre-bend.

Take care!

Steve

hey Steve.....yeah when I go DW I release it....it pops out every time....I have eased up on the downhaul trying to get more power...seems to help...with my weight I have to watch and be sure I need to be trapped out or stay on...I got out sat and sun and had decient wind.....12-15....at 12 i stay on and above that I can trap out...sun was about 14-15 and with the downhaul eased I could get plenty of speed and not lose my point......ohhh it was about 85 sun...water temp is still above 80.......
