According to the rigger who installed my furler, you
should try to avoid
raising the jib too much. I guess 4" isn't that big of a
deal, but I thought
I'm mention it.

Hey Scotty, looks like the perfect and relaxing trip.

It was. Those 4 days alone were worth the price of a
crane.



Just because the skipper of another vessel is an
arse..
is no need to
call his passengers " Skank"...... just not nice...and
in
that case not
true.

What skipper, I was just generalizing.


The new sail looks great, but why do sail makers not
take
in account
the bow rails and let a sail bend around the rail is
beyone me, seems
like that would screw up the effiency of the sail and
cause chaffing.

Thanks Joe. It was fun to make. As soon as I rolled it
out
I noticed it on the bow rail. I think I can raise the
whole
furler another 4 inches, that might do it. BTW, when I'm
close hauled, sheeted in tight, it is inside the rail.
I don't think chafe should be a problen on those smooth
rails, if it is, I can add a patch.


You boat looks like it's in tip top condition, I'm
glad
you got her
back in the water.


Still needs some work ( don't all boats ), but she's
good to
go now. Trying to negotiate a longer trip with the boss.

Wasn't as efficient. I don't know the technical reasons, but next time I
talk to him (needs some minor adjustments), I'll ask.
