Default minicup sailing

Took my two minicups to Shell Pt, FL today to sail. Light wind, maybe
6 kts. Was a good sail anyway. Wife and daughter got some
confidence. Sail on #1 began to fail where the carpet tape I used ont
he visqueen pulled loose. It has been constantly exposed to rain
every other day so am not too surprised.
However, the pulleys on #1 were so rusted they cannot turn even though
I rinse them after use. Salt water is very hard on them. May need to
bite the bullet and buy some marine blocks.

Am putting together a web page about building the minicups, sailing
them and the trailer I built. Finally got enough pics.

Thanks Andrew Buttcher (sp?)
