Re: New PY numbers for 2014

Last year I started racing the 15 again. Every time I went out the wind died to force 1. I did very badly. My club completed an RYA return. Handicap moves to 933

Any advice on straighening tiller extension?

After very dramatically cartwheeling the boat across the reservoir this afternoon, I have a snapped trapeze shock cord (easily sorted) and the long tiller extension is now bent through about 30 degrees. Any advice the best way to straighten is? Or should I just take a hacksaw to it, make it into a s...
