Re: Anyone else having problems getting it up?

This may go without saying but: Are you ensuring you are in-irons or under power when raising the main? I never try to raise the main unless it is completely luffed. Sideways tension on the slugs can create a lot of friction preventing the set of a good, tight leech. And yes, as others have mentione...

Too many details are blatantly incorrect. Of course, the truly disturbing thing about AI is that even...

Re: Happy Thanksgiving 2024!

Somebody on the Mac Facebook Group pointed out that - if it weren't for sailing - there would be no Plymouth Rock landing - and no such thing as Thanksgiving.

Re: MacGregor Sailing Accident - Safety Reminder

The captain will almost certainly say that it was, I suspect the captain was the victim. 50yo male is the right demographic. and it's a hard thing to prove. Only if it's full when they check.
