  1. Just had a good watch of the RG65 nationals videos posted on YouTube. Is there a reason courses for small classes such as the RG65 having courses set with the windward mark way way off into the distance? I feel it just becomes an eyesight test both for the skippers and observers. Lots of tacking to avoid boats they would never have impeded. This is not a slight on the PRO and his/her team btw, just a discussion point. Surely it’s better to have smaller courses with more opportunity for place changes, and therefore more races? I know it’s different for the larger classes who need long courses to stretch their legs.

  2. Perhaps the best way to find a good position for the jib weight is to hook the jib sail head on to something about waist height and hold the hold-down line so that the sail is tight and approximately horizontal. You can then adjust the weight so that the boom is horizontal.

  3. If you are using a pot just blue tack the tails around the top inside the pot or you could use one of these from Sailsetc. https://www.sailsetc2.com/index.php/aerial-arc.html or https://www.sailsetc2.com/index.php/futaba-plug-1576.html
