That's kind of a personal question, isn't it?

You would think so, but he's the one posting pics on the
Internet.

Describe one rigging change you made to your boat that
made you life easier. [1 pt]
Getting a boat with a mast raising system.
The Seaward DVD arrived yesterday, btw, with some
instruction on the use of
same, as well as details of construction. I don't know
when I'll get to the
Bahamas, but I like the idea that the boat was designed
specifically to
shall shallow back waters but still make the occasional
jaunt across open
ocean to the islands.

Jib halyard led back to the cockpit with 12-1 purchase. I can fine
tune it myself while hiked out flat, instead of having my crew come
into the boat and adjust it (incorrectly).

Same thing with the vang, but 16-1. Since I tweak the halyard more
often, it wins by a nose.

Here are some from about a year ago. Me and 100 of my closest friends.
I'm in there somewhere if you know where to look.

Wow that looks like fun, Walt!

There are some fleets of Albacores racing on the Chesapeake,
we've gotten mixed in with them. They look like fun boats if
you don't insist on a spinnaker...

One thing I noticed about the racing pics, in most of them
there are big differences in vang tension. Do you play the
vang off the wind? In most boats, especially in waves, the
vang is a throttle all unto itself.
