Attention to the deck at the mast step area. - Technical -
The Soling and her rigging is a very solid thing but there is one area what needs to keep your eye on: The deck area around the mast step is a sandwich plywood with gelcoat covered on top- and under deckside. If the boatbuilder "forgot" to use marinesealant before mounting the mast step water will come through the holes for the bolts to  ...      Posted on 29/09/2021 by Thomas Maschkiwitz, read by 586 Comments 0

Correcting Deficient Boat Speed or Height
In several races recently I've suddenly recognized that my speed or height was deficient and been initially unsure what to do and in what sequence to do it. I decided to create a plan of action that would insure a more rapid response in the future and thought my scheme might be of general interest. I. Basic Concepts - A.

Weight effect -
We had an interesting discussion (led by Hans Fogh) at the 2009 Worlds. The major consideration was Roman Koch`s speed - in almost all conditions. And not just to windward (and certainly not on a reach which we never do anymore and where weight has its greatest effect). He is fast downwind - in smooth water and in waves - but (I think) part  ...      Posted on 06/11/2009 by Stuart Walker, read by 2384 Comments 2

Bear-Away Spinnaker Sets By Dean Brenner
A well executed spinnaker set can help you gain distance and even places in a tight fleet, so have the pole up, the kite ready to hoist, and the crew hiking on the rail as your boat approaches the weather mark.

Excessively Full Main with Mainsheet Two-Blocked at the Set Rake
Problem - I realized after the first race of the North Americans that my new Halsey main was fuller than my previous ones - and that using it in the usual manner and with the usual rig trim, I was slow (5-9-8-10 in the first four races).
