Well, had a great day on the boat,with the new bottom and new main.

Light air and plenty of Sun. I feel like an idiot coming in looking like
a Lobster a week before Labor day.

I look like a clown out there with the Zinc Oxide but without it I'm
burning to bad for a Myasthenia Gravis sufferer

It sure seems like I've got my light air performance back again. The new
Main sure is a great sail for trimming. Response great to different
adjustments. can really see the vang adjustment with the free foot. I
can see the need for outhaul when vang is applied. It is amassing how
much more you can see with the sail not attached to the boom. "Pneuma"
and I are busy in a new learning curve.

Could use any tips you free footed sail owner would care to pass on to
the Ole Man with the Pilothouse Sloop. It is really great how much more
visible trim adjustment are on the Main
