Ha! Hadn't thought about that. Maybe a little Photoshop work is in the offing...Nice. You have to update your avatar now.
I do wonder just how much of my bottom shows when I'm heeled that far over. Maybe I should rename the boat "Plumber"?Your keel is showing
It definitely has improved pointing ability. Being able to skirt inside the lifelines makes a major difference in this regard. I would say I have picked up at least 5 degrees (trying not to exaggerate. It feels like more).Just placed an order for the LiteSkins with the "Big Jib." What kind of sailing difference have you experienced?
Not as much as you think…I do wonder just how much of my bottom shows when I'm heeled that far over. Maybe I should rename the boat "Plumber"?
Don't sweat the installation process too much. Todd will be available to answer any questions. The RudderCraft airfoil rudder is a worthwhile improvement from my experience. Justin's suggestion for the camcleat from Duckworks is a good one. I did the same and it works as advertised.Thanks for your insights on the new sail plan. I placed the order last week.I will have the roller furling type of "Big Jib". Really excited to see the difference in the sailing performance of the boat. I'm a little nervous about the install process, I'm sure I'm making it worse in my head. I also recently place an order for the RudderCraft tiller/rudder combo. Between the two, I'm thinking it'll be a huge difference.
Thanks again!
