yer well i dont mind lets us go faster and the sail goes up so much better but the last mast felt like a pigeon died in my mast track.  

only problem is i have new shrouds and jib halyard aswell so need to sort out our settings, but the old light wind settings still selt fast so might just leave it.



Ha ha what settings dude?

It works every time, i do exactly the same in the buzz unless it blowing a hooly in which case i go down a  hole on shrouds and whack on a load of tension

do exactly the same. not an exact science. that might be why the two of us aren't normally leading the pack.

But i feel that this will be the norm when luke and i sail together until one of us buys a tension gauge etc. I get bored of measuring mast rake etc. i do exactly in the 14 to be truly honest

You missed a great bargain this weekend: Contender443 bought a rig tension gauge off E-bay from the one and only BigWaveDave! And because Dave is such a lovely man, he delivered it himself (alternative version: he was in the area and couldn't see the point of posting the thing). Unfortunately, he turned up while I was at BBSC but it seems that our own BigWaveDave has shrunk in size, losing 3st in weight.
Daughter Nº1 said he was quite good-looking, hehe... I've got to teach that girl some taste...


He's still the greatest in spirit and we miss him acutely on this forum. He did threaten to come back to dinghy sailing, one day... But now, Finns will be too much of a handful I suppose.
A 4.7 maybe?

HEEEEEELLLLOOOOOOOO

Only quite good looking, pah,

Anyway I will be back sailing in the future but while I am a slimline 12 stone and of the mature age of 41 I thought I would have a midlife crisis. I have learnt to surf.

But there's more.........

No not a Porsche and an affair but back 26 years and I've started skateboarding again

Hurts a lot more than when I was a kid though. (And it is a bit more difficult than I remember)

I'll tell you though, there are a lot of 'mature' gents getting back into it, it's gonna be the next big thing.

Well done Daisy for the video  Not easy to focus on such a fast-moving target.
