[quote=om]Well the first weekend out was amazing. I rigged it 1:1 for the first day which had light air but the wind picked up yesterday. I rigged some cheap pulleys to make it 3:1 which worked fine but then the wind gusted for a minute and we took off at warp speed. Everything held up but I can see the need for good quality rigging in high wind. I think I need to align my rudders better. Is there a lot of pull on the tiller when headed upwind? My tiller crossbar is a piece of galvanized pipe that was put on at some point in the past. I'm gonna replace it with aluminum and try to tweak the alignment when I install it. Other than that it was a blast. I'm in Tennessee and when we were blasting past those pontoon boats I swear their mouths were hanging open. I put in near the yacht club and smoked the whole fleet that was out. Like... really smoked. It was incredible.[/quote]
