Hi, Squally! A fabulous video and a great idea to show everything necessary, straight from the start, so folks know what's involved!

I miss my CP16. It was old and not nearly as nice as your legacy, but very solid. I had it out in some big wind and it always felt safe. Com-Pac makes great boats. 👍🏼#8

It is stable. I have gone out in wind i should have stay home in but i have never felt unsafe in it.

Looks good. I need to learn to step my mast with the shrouds attached. It takes me about an hour to get setup and on water. Longer if I put spinnaker on. Have you considered changing your outhaul lines? We have the same truck canopy side windows. We love them. Why do you use a soft shackle on the jib clew?

[@squallyheiferadventures]

I make all my soft shackles. They are strong and sleek. I did hang up the lapper jib tacking a few times with bowlines tied to clew. I spliced my new jib sheets and they just slide on the soft shackle. One connection with no bulky knots seems to be working right now .

@@squallyheiferadventures Bowlines can be heavy. I'll post a video on the knot I use (just for discussion purposes). Whatever works best for you is the right solution. I learned of an other knot that works well (and it can blow-out in heavy wind, used it on a spinnaker sheet as not to lock the sail down (bad idea)).
