Four GREAT days on the lake
I got home last night at 1830 after 4 super days out.
I launched Friday around 1500. Took ONLY 3 hours to rig this time and the A-frame was the key. I did have a buddy there for back-up, but basicly did it alone.
Had a decent(4-8kts) wind for about 4 hrs each day and even had a GOOD blow for about an hour on Sunday when my little brother and his brand new bride joined us for the day.
I reefed the main yesterday just to see if I could and it looked OK so I guess I did it right.
I'm still have some trouble holding course sometimes but I'm not sure how to explain it. On a close reach the bow wants to pull the wrong way. I mean PULLS, like don't have a rudder. I tries adjusting the jib, but seems no matter what I do I end up having to do a 360 to get it back.
