Also, in order to solve some of my problems I have decided to go loose footed with my sail instead of laced. I have an album set up with before and after pics for those that would like to peruse them. They highlight some of the problems Ive been having with the rigging, and how I hope loose footed will help.
There are other great threads too, such as this one.
Tomorrow will be the loose footed experiment day, stay tuned!
