Classic

[@northwind9505]

Thanks so much for the info. I do have a question about the lead weight in front of the jib. Some boats have and some don't. How does it help? Does it make a difference?

[@sailwars]

It helps balance the jib boom. In light air a balanced jib boom can make a difference.

[@northwind9505]

Okay, I will be testing mine tomorrow. Not sure if its balanced. Again maybe a vidio on how this is done?

[@sailwars]

We are going to film this in the winter time.

[@northwind9505]

Yes this did help.

[@sailwars]

We are so happy to have been helpful.

@@sailwars What purpose does the upper (jumpers) shroud spreaders serve? I'm not sure if that's what they are called.

[@sailwars]

They pull the top of the mast forward.

[@northwind9505]

I can't watch this with this music

[@sailwars]

There were 12 different songs used in this video. Which one do you not like? If you turn your volume down a little you won't even hear the music. We kept it low so you could hear the speaker. Also, remember that all these videos are made by volunteers. No one makes a dime off this. In fact, some of the volunteers have spent thousands of dollars of their own money to help the sport/hobby. You could always volunteer? Or donate? Please thank Jarl and the other members of the Sail Wars Team for making these videos.
