Video or it didn't happen! :) j/k Seriously, I wouldn't store my Aero with the mast up. The sun's UV rays would be murder on the carbon spars, and the chance for damage is great should strong winds hit.

Nice...I'm looking into moving to a single handed dinghy after years sailing two handed. I'm 5ft tall, 60kg and thinking a rig 5 and 6 would probably work best for me.

Thanks Marc! It is worth noting that a brand new halyard rope is likely to slip a little through the cleat under dowbhaul load on its first outing before it wears a little. If necessary (e.g. an important race) you can avoid this by roughening it up a little with some sandpaper first.

If you use a larkshead to attach the spectra loop on the mast to the shackle you increase the throw still more :)

I find setting up for my 7 without the additional knot perfectly sets up the knotted, longer throw for the 9.

So annoying to glance up and see it has slipped! Great tip Marc. Set-that-fish.
@cstow3 жыл бұрын
One additional tip is to make sure all the slack is out of your halyard knot in two ways: by pulling the knot as tight as possible before hoisting the sail and then, after hoisting and pulling the downhaul on (as Marc shows in the video), dropping slightly, re-hoisting, and re-setting the line in the cleat. This will make sure the knot is as tight as possible and the line is in the cleat as tightly as possible.

Plenty in this....obviously hiking hard, but the constant sheet trim and aggressive wave steering are critical to keeping the boat driving forward flat and fast...nice one Marc!!

@marcjacobisailing62493 жыл бұрын
Hi Jeff. It's kind-of a habit, and earlier this day I noticed weed on my daggerboard while recovering from a capsize, so it seemed especially important. Even a little bit really slows the boat.
