Hi Sam really helpful tips. Can I ask when you put elastic on the control lines and then put elastic round the mushroom what do you do with the halyard? Many thanks David

Great tips, Sam! 2 questions: 1.the adjustable hiking stick is standard/class legal? 2. The elastic you put up to the front of the mast is class legal? Thank you.

From Sam... 1) by hiking stick do you mean tiller extension? It’s not adjustable on the water. It’s more that I believe the standard tiller extension length is slightly too long so I think if you cut it down a few centimetres it will be easier to handle. And yes, it is class legal! 2) You’re allowed to put elastic on any control lines to release them in an Aero, so yes - fully class legal!

@@RYA1875 where do I get those elastics for the control lines? also - did you buy a shorter tiller extension or you actually cut it down?
