Bill and Web Gang:
I would agree and add that if the purchase is too easy; if it is little effort to
make adjustment, you may be inclined to go overboard with making a myriad of
minute adjustments that kind of serve to take away from the pleasure of just
getting out there and sailing, Potter style. Also, I don't know if anyone else
out there is like this, but I prefer having to make a little effort in making
adjustments while underway. It serves to assist in telling me how much or how
little I need..
We are still talking about Potter 19s and 15s, right? For the last few weeks,
I've been having flashbacks from reading the list, thinking I was back in
collegiate sailing/racing days..
