In light air you don’t need the downhaul! Just use the topping lift.

Two good tips. Still thinking on pulling the board and shimmig it. I am sure the board needs some TLC. Plus I have the old vinyl gasket. It looks perfect so I would prefer to leave it alone. The last owner flipped the boat, used a 2 part epoxy  & did fantastic job on bottom. Board is the last thing to fix & ( in the right hands) this is a competitive boat.

thanks to all, got Fisher’s book, just what I need. I appreciate the link to the polar too.

What if your crew is not thrilled about grabbing the  vang?
if on a run even if you go a little by the lee the boom is not coming over  without some help.
All my other boats you could throw it over with the main sheet, but not so much with the scot.
thanks from a new owner and member
