Re: Moth Tuning

Re: Moth Tuning
Those 45 degree headers sound very familiar!! I have a little hawk burgee that straps around the bottom of the mast but I will put one on top as well along with some tell tales on the sail.

Re: Moth Tuning
Thanks, I will try it all out next time I sail it, the cunningham is pretty good on the boat and I should be able to pull a good amount on to get a bit of mast bend.
