      Flapping jib?

      By SimonCornes · Posted

      A basic query. So your boat is running and should be goose winged but the main is all out and the jib is hovering over the centreline. So what’s the answer? Too much tension in the jib forestay and maybe jib downhaul to?  I’d love to read your opinion! Thanks Simon

      DF95 rudder post fitting (replacement/damage)

      By HotTub · Posted

      Some people have put a plastic drinking straw which I thinks takes up the play in the rudder assembly. Saves the potential of damage to hull removing the old rudder fittings. 🫢

      Scoring a Series

      By John949 · Posted

      Rather than delve straight into the maths, it's probably better to take a step back and ask some questions about what you want the system to achieve e.g. Assuming we want the system to cope fairly with significant variations in entry numbers: Should the winner's score be the same irrespective of the number of entrants? Should last place always score the same? Should DNC always score the same? Should DNF always score the same? If you have discards, should they be on a race or 'day' basis?  For example if you sail 8 races in day with two discards but then don't turn up on another day, can you count your two discards on the first day instead of two of the DNCs for the day you don't turn up? Once you have decided on the answers to the above then you can break out Excel and design a scoring system that meets the chosen requirements.
