venturousviking is on a distinguished road
Thanks for all the replies and advice. My wife and I are still learning how to sail on our own so we could use any advice. After looking at some pictures and seeing some videos I might not have been over as far as I thought I was. It was just scary to see water coming over the top on the starboard side when you are used to seeing water under your boat. When I was sailing I just kept my main in the middle and tried to sail just like that. Now I will keep the mainsheet in my hand and go out and try it again. I know I can do it, it just scared me to be over as far as I thought I was. Another question: I noticed that my leeward shrouds would lose tension. Is that normal or should they be tight enough so that would not happen...

Thanks

Mike
