All,

I'm interested in hearing about any class legal go fast tweaks to the boat that you would be willing to share with a newbie.

I'm game for both uni and sloop rigged ideas.

FWIW - I've reviewed everything on this site, so I'm not being lazy - just not much there.

F17 Tuning

This page has both tips for carbon & aluminum rigs,
a lot of the F17 sailors hang out @ http://www.websitemagic.com/cramboard2/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.cgi?board=everything

Thanks Rich...I have looked at the Tuning Guide before, but didn't know about the board.

When your boat finally arrives at the FWYC you will get plenty of go fast ideas! I'll give you your first clue; cleats. Oh yea, bring your camera. <img src="<>/grin.gif" alt="grin" title="grin" height="15" width="15" />

Gee, Bob, I have trouble with traction sometimes but I never thought of trying cleats. Tough on gelcoat, though.
