Post subject:  2nd year more tips.

This is my second year with the wave.

Does any one have any good pointer how to get the most of of the wave.

Speed
Sail setting
Where to place the rigging what holes to put them in in what winds?

I have a club so no traveler..

I added a jib and traveler to my boat as well as a 10 hole front adjuster to rake the mast back. I really like the jib and feel it helps with speed and tacking. I never sail without it now. The traveler I am still learning to use it and it can be added to the classic or club. There is a post on this forum on how to add the traveler to the classic.
I also added a 6:1 main sheet pulley setup. I'm a strong guy, but holding the 4:1 set up in high winds (we often have 20+ mph winds) was difficult and the wife could not sheet it in all the way. These additions are not class legal for racing, but I cant find any other wave owners in the SF Bay area to race, so I go around eating up Lasers!

Thanks
Do you have a post on the traveler for the club. As I thought you could do that.

I was thinking jib but not to sure

Ya I know it hurts holding the rigging I high winds.

Where I am I have a fleet of Tiger cats 18 and 16 the eat me up and spit me out...

But I have a blast racing as I learn much more.
