eye drops.
oh, thats just me then - had surgery a few days ago, which turned my left eye a nice bright red, which is most convienient, as my right eye is green, so i'm perfectly colour coded for sailing now.

Question, having only sailed with a fixed rudder at Salcombe, but hopefully getting a lifting one delivered for Salcombe, is it necessary to have a weed stick with a lifing rudder - wouldn't you just pull the string quickly to clear weed?

a spare wheel for the road trailer - a legal requirement now - I've heard...

Sun cream, frisbee, spare spinnaker, spare liver,
Weed stick is best left till down there. Buy cheapest fishing net available (70p) remove netting, bend wire bit to suit, wind duck tape round it all to stop end falling off when whacked down rudder blade.
Suspect I'm going to need one sailing in black as I have 3 races at the bottom of the tide to kick off my week

Andrew M - leave the netting on, you get more grip on the slimmy stuff
Posted: 05/07/2005 21:38:58 By: done this before |

weed stick is quicker than leaning our the back to lift rudder and than pull it down again, this takes helm time, Head in boat ( well over the back)
with the weed stick my crew goes back to do it, hence head out of boat.!!!

years ago, Ken Lawton used to have a weed stick attached to his tiller like a twin spinny pole in reverse* - complete with a wire runner, bungy and velcro. Personally, I like to send the crew aft for a good dunking (it wakes them up). I don't even allow a clothes peg on their nose.
* carbon weedstick? - are you listening Alan?

Don't forget to grease the launching trolly wheel-bearings for those races where the tide is out when you come ahore!
Posted: 06/07/2005 09:58:38 By: Dave Croft |
Put your boat number on the trolly, so other have no excuse for borring by accident.
