Re: Spinnaker Halyard
Bill Thanks for the info. Are most boats launching the spinnaker from out of the port side cabin? Or are most using bow bags (and, if so, where can I find one? lol)? Tommy Fleet 1 has a mix. Some bow baggers, but probably more cockpit launchers. The problem with a bow bag comes in when you race som...

Re: Minnesota San Juan
Welcome. You could also look into trailer brakes to help you out as well since braking with a lightweight vehicle, and a short wheelbase car can be scary. I'd also change your car's engine oil more often, and get something that would you monitor the transmission temperature if you're doing anything ...

Re: Checking in from Alabama
Yes, the Harbor is pretty much dead, but a lot of that data is quite old anyways, and things have been updated. Definitely check out Fleet 1's website, we have newish articles on almost everything you'd ever want to do, within the realm of racing of course:) as we're a fairly racing oriented fleet. ...

Re: Roller furling
Gene Adams ran one for years before he passed, and IIRC he liked it, but felt it was not "Fast". IE good for cruising, not so much for racing.

Re: Checking in from Alabama
I notice that information about these old boats is quickly evaporating from the web. Welcome! but no way! There's TONS of information out there:) It's just these boats are old enough that there are some fairly proven ways to do things. These forums, while not highly active, have a lot of people who...

Re: Jib Causing Over-steer - HELP!
Why even bother running wiring? Portable bow and stern lights are very bright these days. Also, we're a wee bit off topic, lol. You're also in a bit of downtime so people aren't as active sailing and reading the forums I think, I just had a child a little over 2.5 years ago, so my time sailing, and ...

Re: WTB: Used Main (for cruising/daysailing)
Clark had their own sail making shop, and i've never seen any "originals" that weren't Clark logo'd, but my boat is older than I am, and i've only been sailing it for 8 years, so maybe someone else has seen a different manufacturer as the OEM:)

Re: trailer boards
I ended up changing my old Fleet Captain, or whatever the Juan came with stock from the pair of 2x6x5'rs that were on it to quad 2x4x8's. They bend easier and has probably 5 times the contact area supporting the hull.
