capt jake Posted February 22, 2003 Posted February 22, 2003 ...Mainsail. Ray and Phil, have you had a chance to play with that track and develop a plan on the loosefooted mainsail?? I know that Paul has recommended taking a line (1/4") aft from the attachment point on the sail/slide to a cheek block; leading fore through a guide to a cam cleat or any other attachment point. :) Quote

capt jake Posted February 23, 2003 Author Posted February 23, 2003 Thanks, post it here to spread the knowledge!! Sorry to be a pain, but if I don't get it, many others may not understand it either!! :) Thank You!!! Quote
Tim Diebert Posted February 23, 2003 Posted February 23, 2003 That's a pretty concise depiction there I would say Ray. "Should be good for a few laughs" Should we be expecting stick people then? Quote
Tim Diebert Posted February 23, 2003 Posted February 23, 2003 "And much more too!" NOW I see what you mean Ray........wow. Cool. Quote
Phil Gowans Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 Capt Jake, I haven't done anything but dream about it for a while. I'm still waiting on my new sails. I don't think I should do much setup with out them. I guess it's about time to see what Paul J has been doing all winter. I'm planning to keep mine pretty simple. I will probably start without a block and just reeve the outhaul through the eyebolt and tie off on a small cleat on the boom. I haven't tried to adjust the foot under sail before. RAY, do you really need that much advantage? Quote
