you guys would certainly know better.... adjustable shrouds and lowers though, are they 'vital'?

Adjustable shrouds, other than taking the pin out and moving it up and down, are not class legal, so definatley not vital. As for lowers on the go, that will split the fleet 50/50 |

Nah, I introduced my guy to letting go the forestay downwind, (he did the opposite) so they all go slack and you can get the boom right out and almost fully run by the lee. I did trash a couple Lasers in fine style on the run which convinced him, then again I'm a bit lighter. |
