Who spends an hour tuning before every race not just when new sails go on

That shouldn't be necessary unless you're changing tuning for conditions.
Aren't Etchells pretty well built? If you set up for heavy air, do you have
to slack off the rig when you put the boat away, or will it go slack on you
if the boat is left for a week?

Maybe I'm more spoiled than I realize, I hate boats & guitars that won't stay
in tune pretty much indefinitely....
