I have not commented much this summer.
Got my 170 in the water at the Yacht club. Have a few more hours on it. Honestly I spent more time on a Sunfish. Lots of fun plus the club was running fun races on Friday.
One problem I have been having is furling the jib. Either it would not fully unfurl or I could not get it furled quite enough. I figured the line was likely original so it had to be right and it was something I was doing wrong.
After the end of the season I thought to check the manual for the correct line length. Well It was supposed to be 15 foot long, but I know it was way further then 2 feet from the stern of the boat. Well I just remembered to measure it and it is just a bit over 12 feet long.
Another item on my list of things to buy this winter for boats. I am up to 6 boats right now. I have 4 Sunfish and an Opti right at the moment. When they come up too cheap you have to buy them, right?
A little aside, my 170 came up with a bunch of cracks. About one tubes worth of repair.
Now back to sanding and prep for varnish on Sunfish rudders. The problems with really really cheap, they need some work.
