I'll just have to re-rig them. Thanks again! Michael

Topping lift for F21?

I seem to like the sail shape better if I tie off the lazy jacks to the mast instead on keeping them on the boom when under sail. So the boom is being held up by the main sail.

Our race captain says that they might not have a fleet to race a Freedom 21 in. although I don't think he knows much about the boat other than it's a cat boat. The 2 possible f...

Re: Heave to with F21?

Hi Clarke, Thanks very much for answering my post! I'll try your suggestion for heve to, it seems very viable. BTW I've strapped some bungee cords around the tiller to use as a tamer before and it's ok but can't leave it unassisted for too long. Is that what you meant by friction line? One wrap arou...
