Did some more genoa control testing yesterday. I may have made the genoa slightly too big for the available winch/sheet-length movement. The available internal hull-length only gave me 38cm of sheet length movement. It'll mean too much internal re-working to get the full 6 turns of the drum available so I'll just have to stick with what I've got. I expect that the Fisher will not sail closer to the wind than a broad reach, so the set-up may still work OK. Will try it out on the water/in the breeze, before doing any more adjustments.
Meanwhile the watchman and his son made a sneak visit last night to check the nav lights and wheelhouse nav- instruments -iimmagination running a bit wild these days, sorry!
