Re: Light wind sprint sailing

thanks Jenny. I'll make an effort to get out in the light suff and maybe copy Graham Dare's set up from the weekend.

To the guys that don't wish to share - you better hope for light winds at the TBYC winter TT :lol:

Light wind sprint sailing

I found it quite tricky at the weekend - how should the boat be set up?
I suspect my rig tension is slightly too tight with too much rake for the real light stuff. Does it make that much difference?

1 Piece Mast Swap

hi all,

Does anyone have a 1 piece mast they would swap for a 2 piece + some cash
Mast i'm swapping is from sprint 1918, condition is reasonable with a few marks where it may have rubbed on the back beam when de-rigged at some point. No problems to affect performance.
