Anybody have a demo of reefing a stock M-sail?

The ones with the dinghy catch the biggest fish

There are lots of reasons to have a dingy.More than not..I love fishing from a small boat for one.I have a 2 horse honda & don't have a dingy , :) two.Packing a tent & gear to transport to island shore, three.A dingy would be nice in an emergency .If your E-tec broke down one could fix it hi...

Thanks Leon, I didn't get much tension on the forestay , a little..Just got the boat off the paint rack today.Fresh bottom paint. ready to take off as far as I can get. 8) Got my L.E.D mass light wired & mounted.Got my weather wizzard 3 http://www.windandweather.com/product.asp?pcode=206&cm_...

Sure noticed a difference after running the nuts up.Snugged the forestay tension up a bit.Put the boat in for bottom painting & have not had a chance to sail this holiday

Yes Leon.I have noticed tension on the forestay is most important.I took my mast off & did some
work to it & putting the spreader back on & running the wires left things out of adjustment.
I use a backstay but only for looks. I can use it for my ssb radio

Thanks Jim..I will try that.Everything got out of adjustment when I had my mast down off the boat.
I do think & have always thought the front sail is not as tight as it should be.I'm not talking about banjo string
tight.just tight as to have proper form while sailing

There is not much Tension on the lines.I think I will just snug it up by using the screw on the bottom.
I just want it tight.not banjo string tight.Just tight.I notice when I'm sailing the form isn't that great
on the front sail.To me it looks like it needs to stretched tighter

Thanks Dave,
I just have the line wrapped around so it won't drag the ground in this picture.
That was before Mark helped me put the sail on.I didn't realize both lines
had to have an even ammount of tension,thanks

yes,thats a furler one can use.Nice.I wish we could have known about the cheap sails,cheap furler & a few other things before we baught the boat. One could go ahead & order the things that work proper instead of going through all this.Oh well, it's still a great boat.I would love to go ahead...

thank you kadet..I did adjust it then.I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something else to adjust..
yes,my next mod may be to trash this fuler all together..Crap
