After months of work my O'Day 25 is finally on the water. I solo sailed on Saturday and then we went out for half a day on Sunday. Nothing broke! I had to double check the placard to make sure I was sailing an O'Day!
While nothing broke I did run into a few issues. My furler kept jamming. The angle of the line is wrong and the line is shot. Does anyone know what length of line should be used? There is a short line connected to the deck to prevent the furler housing from turning. It's not very effective. I suspect it's missing a piece
The position of the jib cars, winch and cleat are so close togther that they interfere with one another. It's totally possible that I'm running the jib sheets incorrectly. Should the sheets be ran on the inside or outside of the lifelines? Does anyone have a pic of their combing?
Should the sidestay go slack when sailing on a reach? It was able to move freely about a 1/2"
