hello,
have any frers33 owners experienced a larger number of over-rides tacking the jib to starboard side? we have always had to have only a single wrap on the winch on this side tacking the head sail, which noticeably slows the tack. i believe that the winch angle needs to be straightened up and have just purchased a canted winch pad to test me theory. the pad had an angle of about 3-4 degrees. i think that the canting angle should be even larger. any similar experience or solutions?
respectfully,
greg zercoe - where egos dare
