Whats the best technique?

Whats the best technique for reaching in strong wind? I find the best way to sit with the beam in between your legs and throw the tiller over the back and hold on to the tiller arm's as holding on to the tiller gets in the way. I didn't know if anyone else had any other techniques?

Right then, my mainsheet is the 10mm sheet and the traveller is the 8mm in two different colours as is required. How they have been spliced is by pulling out about 4-5 inches of the inner core of the main and threading the traveller inside, once that is done you can then get the whipping twine out t...

Bob
my traveller line does not go under the tramp either. I find that having the mainsheet going around the mast on top of the tramp and then back again to the traveller works best for me.

Charles is right in saying that i have it going around the base of the mast and i find that it does stop it running out th...

Martin. I checked about the crossing the other week and its £5.10 for cars but i think that you only have to pay one way. Also you don't have to pay anymore for trailers which is good for me ha ha.
