I had a slug retro fited by a local sailmaker. They cut away the bolt rope that had gone 'soft' and enough of the tack sail area to allow a slug to be fitted. They then proceeded to attach the slug with loads of cotton webbing and some thick stitching. This didn't last long and i repleced it with a ...

Hi Simon

are you talking about the slug attached to the foot of the sail through the eyelet (downhaul)?

i attached one to mine with a jubilee clip. i can send a photo if this is the area you are talking about. Suggitt sails in Reddich helped me.

Regards, Phil.

No pictures, just curious as to whether it really is one.

Fantastic weekend. The weather was perfect and the sailing brilliant.

Does anyone have the contact details of the gentleman selling the photo's, or an idea of how i can get a copy of the 700 pics?

Thanks.

Ref The Inter Club Challenge I heard (possibly just hear-say) that a clause update had been put inplace regarding the 3.1 MAST section (pun) of the rules. Sub clause BENT (Brazen Exploitation of Non-existant Technicalities) had been included as an antidote to anyone trying to use MAST inappropriatel...

Thanks Rob, George, Kevin

Will definately look to incorporate your tips for setting up the Jib. And keep practicing..

Phil.

Rarely do i venture out with a jib, (the main is enough for my short skill set) but when i do, i never seem to get it tight enough. The original clip mechanism has long gone so i just tie it to the furling drum. As soon as I sheet in and its blowing a little it goes a bit baggy between the hanks on ...

Fantastic Video Daren,

what camera make / model did you use?

From someone relatively new to the class who has a perspective from the very back of the fleet, i feel the DX has a place within the class. I am not aware of much of the fleets' history, but casually looking at the footnote to all the events posted on this website, i believe i would be welcomed if i...
