Measuring For Spinnakers, Jib Sticks and Spinnaker Poles
So today is all about getting the boat and sails measured up for her new Spinnaker and new Spinnaker pole, and also a longer Jib stick. I go through the whole process here to help others as it can be quite confusing using the measurements system to do this. I also fit a crude tiller tamer to test out in the next sail along with a few small jobs that needed doing.
