If i can get my 2000 crew to get his ass in gear there is a video of us sailing downwind in a steady 25 knot westerly at Largo (Max Gust:35knots while we were out). -------------

The water looks very calm for a F6+ though it must of been fairly breezy to get the 2 tonner to move like that, what does one of those things weigh roughly? ------------- Finn GBR 657 - Blown It Laser 164635 Planet Earth: 30% Land, 70% race course! |

Right then, we expect a few decent pictures of her ladyship and your good self hurtling along in the 4k by next monday. She's had a practice and it's now time for you to show us what she's made of.

It's only a small lake so the water surface can be deceiving....There are some better ones of the boat with the usual helm and myself in similar winds but I dont know where they have been posted.... Paul ------------- Paul ---------------------- D-Zero GBR 74 |

Yep, got a text from Carshalton on Tuesday to say that the mast had arrived, and another one today to say that the sail's fixed, yipee! All I hope now, is that Luke's not waiting until Sunday morning to rig the boat for the first time because, from previous experience regarding new stayed masts from Laser, we're likely to miss the morning race! ------------- http://www.lancingsc.org.uk/index.html - Lancing SC

yay new mast is on the boat now and main sail looking alot better now it has no hoe in it. the mast felt alot lighter than the old one and we seemed to point alot higher than we used to. the silver mast looks a tini bit funny with the black boom and gnav strut. ------------- International 14 1503 |

Black absorbs light and therefore silver is just a little bit lighter. ------------- Lark 2170 |

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. ------------- International 14 1503 |

well the the settings that are one setting suits all and pull on enough rig tension till u get a nice twang off the shrouds. ------------- International 14 1503 |

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 ------------- Josh Preater http://www.bu22.co.uk">  BUZZING IS FUN

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.

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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLo7rmxwSVQ - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLo7rmxwSVQ

Just thought I'd quote that bit in case you re-read your post and edit it out. The bit about you being incontinent is ok but the chinos bit is very very embarrasing. -------------
