General Discussion

With spring just months away, I thought it might be interesting to talk about how to tune the standing rigging on your boat.  I know I need to do it since I've never checked it on Lyric, having only owned her since late spring of 2010.  I do, however, plan to check my rigging for proper tuning this spring because I have some rigging issues (both standing and running) with which to deal.

Hi, I'm in town for the month as my fiance is working at Ron's Apothecary and I would love to sail around Juneau. SEASailing looked promising at first, but on second glance the site looks rather inactive. I'm bummed I missed Wade's post--I arrived a day too late! Does anyone think there is a chance for me at SEASailing? Should I be looking elsewhere? Is the sailing good in September? I spent the last month in Sitka and was amazed at how calm it was.

I was online tonight looking for navigational software to run on my new Dell XPS 16 laptop and while surfing the net, I found what looks like an awesome package:  http://maxsea.nexway.co.uk/

What is the max. apparent wind speed that you'll run your A-sail?
 
North has light and heavy A's, with different apparent wind speed ranges for each. Thanks. ~Joel
