Hi Dwight, We did some damage over the years. On the J24, I was a fanatic, kept a log... tuned every week/regatta for conditions, all that stuff. Same on the J30, but with this boat, I'm looking at some pieces I'm not used to and figuring it out as I go. Having a baseline is what I was looking for. So I borrowed a couple big bodies and went up the rig to check thing s out for myself. Seems like 1000/1000 on the D1/V1 was a decent start. The D2 is just barely registering on the gauge, and the V2 is loaded by the V1, with no adjustment available. I went sailing yesterday and today (though it was blowing hard today) and made some adjustments - 1300/1200 and it felt pretty good. Lee shrouds soft, but not slack until it really kicked up. Still experimenting, and expecting a new 135% in a few weeks, so I'll be starting all over again, I suppose.
Thanks for the input from the listers. Every bit helps. After retiring from racing for a decade +, I'm thinking I'm ready to go back at it, but at a different pace than before... guess that comes with age.
