 Hi,

I use a really simple system on my toestrap, it works a treat..never fails me!

I cannot upload a pic as my only pic is too large, PM me if you want me to email you or something.

Make sure you use a thick rope, (i use an old mainsheet) so that you get lots of grip.

P.S. I haven't set mine up as per any instructions!

Dear "Black no Sugar". Please do not mock the elderley. I was trying to upload a photograph of my boy having fun in his non foiling moth. I have failed of course. Please imagine a white Magnum 8 sailing fast towards the camera on a close reach. The trees on the far side of the lake are not yet in leaf and swimming just off the port bow is a grebe. If you can wait until the end of term my many children will be home from uni. and can show me how to upload pictures. Until then a description is all I can manage.

Actually the description is great and the imagination can paint the picture very well ... I hope the real thing lives up to it ...

Most excellent. Just what I needed to see after a lousy day in the office.

i just dont adjust mine, set it up for upwind and as you move back in the boat on reaches it seems fine, i dont have any problems anyway. its one less thing to think about round the top mark and that can only be a good thing.
600 732, will call it Sticks and Stones when i get round to it.

Hear hear. Also must say, very few crews can do that and not only make it look so good but also live to see the end of the beat. Hats off!!!
