Looks like you stayed out a while! Keep posting about your Reynolds 21, the other owners will eventually find you here.

Thanks i will post videos also here, i was told by a 40 year hobie sailor that i am doing pretty good with her! I told him jokingly "I am trying to pass you! But he is on a Hobie 18 he is sooooo fasttt! He use to crawl up to me and fly by me now in a good breeze he seems like its taking him a longer time to fly by me, i know the 16s take a while but if they catch a gust first its amazing how they take off! wait i have one here https://www.youtube.com/w…ure=youtube_gdata_player

Nice, lots of sails on your lake, makes for a nice afternoon. You may not be the fastest boat on your lake, but the most comfortable for sure! And I bet you can cruise by the larger monohulls no problem.
Get some more downhaul on that main, don't go crazy, just get all the wrinkles out along the mast.

Yes i have pulled down, but when i tuck in the main it pulls it out, Oh that is another problem i need to get a Swivel part for my main sheet top block, i have no idea what that part is called! My mainsheet block is always twisted! looks like sh it .. but we always chase the hobie guys or follow them around the lake! Some have cameras on their boats i try to get videoed but no one is videoing but me! The one guy has a GOPRO on his one hull but he hasnt been there for a while

Attach the top main block to the boom with a swivel snap shackle, makes it easier to attach/detach and also swivels.

This weekend we had a quick storm blow in! I was out in 20 gusts but it was blowing 10mph my gps had me as 15 knots of speed not to bad when your sailing faster then the WIND! I love it I had my hull out of the water just a little bit... :) My one Hobie friend had his camera , because i am always video them and i whine a little saying ""No one videos me"" hahhaa but he took me all day then at the end of the day he knocks his VIDEO CAMERA in the Drink! Dam such a good day tho!
