Could Be worse, Joe:
10 or 12 years ago I was in a 100 Statute Mile overnight race called the
Albemarle 100. It was about 2 AM, I was steering and 1 crew on deck trimming
the spin while we went downwind on a very broad reach with the ½ oz. spin up in
5 or 6 knots apparent.

a core of 5 good friends, one my brother.
I learned a lot over many years, on different boats, doing different
jobs, full crew and short crew days, in all kinds of conditions. Over
the years racing, I have spent some
Agreed!
Although we do have a tendency to be overly analytical and dependent on
technology. Must work to stay in touch with our intuitive side and “feel” the
boat.
BTW, I had a high school buddy who went to Michigan Tech . Visited him in the
winter of 68-69 and my most vivid memory is

I replaced the rod rigging shrouds on my 1978 34. As I recall, for that
vintage Navtec there is a piece of threaded pipe that goes through the mast and

Hello fellow Listers,
I noticed after hurricane Doirion that the turnbuckle on the lower shroud had
loosened substantially and now in heavier wind it comes loose almost as though
the threads are worn or stripped. I want to replace it but I don't know how to
remove it from the rod rigging. Am
I have to confess to a bit of sandbagging here - I have purchased SailTimer
products in the past. And I just had a rather shocking interaction with the
company. Before sharing it I wanted to survey other peoples’ experience.
Dave’s recounting below of his interaction with the company reminded
Racing a sailboat against other sail boats of similar speed potential is an
art as much as a science but good science used the right way can help.
Still like DC said “No Excuse to Lose”

Why i said practice as a crew first. That kite is really powerful
sometimes. Pays to have your crew know how. OTOH i have used my tri radial
kite with only 1 inexperienced crew on the wheel. Great until the apparent
wind angle changed. We lived and Alianna survived too

Thanks for all the replies. Edd, my intention with hoisting a display
up the mast was to replicate the mast rotation transmitter. Guess I'll
keep messing with it since some seem to have decent performance with it.

The “frac” line still helps stabilize the tip of the mast even if the boat has
a stiff mast section, as once around the weather mark the backstay adjuster
should be eased, which in turn may allow the mast tip to bounce around.
Especially important to eliminate that bounce in light air and chop
I meant to say Wind shifts / tide / currents should NOT be issues...

Neil,
It’s true — Your mast is a little too tall for the Tacktick system. What you
need, about half way up the mast is a Mast Rotation Transmitter (T221). See:
