The GSC is now in full swing, and in training mode for the Worlds in November, with Bruce and Bill.
The training is challenging, mainly because the eyes....yes, it is an 'age' thing. For our first sail last Sunday, a gorgeous day, I struggled with small ring dings when we rigged. Jib tack, jib clew, main down haul, tiller extension, main blocks... I wuz wondering if anyone uses Quick Pins or snap shackles anywhere, like I did on my old H18SX.
Speed and ease of rigging is my goal here, and yes, I know lots of those goodies are not Class Legal. Training is not governed by Class rules, but by how little time I have to sail.
BTW the H16 is a sports car compared to the Oldsmobile feel of the old H18SX. We love it.
