[eastcoastbernie]

Not me. I'm far too ladylike to engage is such vulgar mud-slinging.....

Can manage a close up of me smalls if that'll do /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif plenty of drooping there /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[eastcoastbernie]

Dunno about that ...

I think you could do with a little more cunningham, a bit less kicker, your genoa cars could do with shifting further forward, your outhaul need adjusting.... and don't you think you could do with a little more tension on your top batten?

And while I think of it, you could let your backstay off a tad, adjust the traveller a little ......

Do you think .......

[Auntie Helen]

Here's one from last year (we've had Chellers almost a year now!).

 

[FullCircle]

but here is another, also by that well known East Coast Mobographer, D3B

Don't suppose my self portrait counts /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[eastcoastbernie]

You definitely need more luff tension and more outhaul Sixpence.

But at least your rig is upright. Not like that sloppy Full Circle fellow who needs to concentrate on keeping the hull underneath the rig.

okay ive got a picture but i know not how to post it,

how do i do a piccy?

 

[Sixpence]

Oh dear, er, Matt, if it's just the one, send it to me by e.mail, if it's more than one or three let me know and I'll search for the instructions, but easier if you send to me for now
e.mail is in my profile

OK, so the top of the jib is twisting off, but the blocks are fixed, and the last thing I need is 2 barber haulers cluttering up the foredeck. The staysail is OK, but the second reefing pannant on the main is too tight, distorting the leach low down.
After 30 years, you'd think I would have ONE photo where evrything was right.....!

 

[bastonjock]

should be in your email dave

 

[Sixpence]

Just arrived, stand by one and I'll upload it
