[@JavierGonzalez-xg2tq]

Thanks for the inspirational videos. I got my 16 Mk1 back from Hutchins ( they restored her for me) and have been sailing her in Biscayne Bay now for a few weeks. Best little boat ever!!! I get good ideas from watching your vids please keep sharing.

@@JavierGonzalez-xg2tq glad you like the videos. Would love to see your 16 of you put anything up. 👍🏻

@@roblivingston1167 it’s a must

Jib sheets outside the stays maybe?

[@SailingrumrunnerII]

@@robertdaly9870 I used to run them outside. I may try it again next time to see if that makes a difference. Thanks

[@marctanner1624]

@@SailingrumrunnerII I agree, I think the jib sheet is getting extra strain from being pulled up against the stay and then dislodging.

[@SailingrumrunnerII]

@@marctanner1624 definitely going to try running them on the outside next time I’m out.

Is your main roller reefed? Do you roll up the sail to store it?

[@SailingrumrunnerII]

@@paullambert5341 yes, some 16s have a roller reefing function built into the boom making it pretty easy to do and undo. I do not roll it to store. I just flake the main and use ties to secure to boom.
