my sj24 didnt come with lifelines, and since im moving it to the bay area (SF bay), i think i'd like some. we've been fine in lake tahoe w/out em, but some...
George, Gary Thanks for the comments. Hope the description helps. My experience on boats other than the SJ24 is that gybing can be easier if you can "dip the...
Personally, I prefer no lifelines, but some racing organizations require them in their rules. I call them trip lines instead of lifelines. I think the J/22...
A properly done end-for-end gybe is so fast that there is no time for trouble. It does help if the helmsman and trimmers know what they are doing. ... easier...
I don't think it would be a good idea to remove toerails from the SJ24. They're pretty much holding the hull - deck together. You would have to replace with...
Oh for those conditions when we're launching! It never happens when we're racing. I appreciate the video is done for instruction purposes, but one thing we ...

Sheet it in tighter, and get it lower to the bow. Another thing you can do is, if your running straight down wind head off a few degrees and sheet the...
You must immediately head the boat up and trim the pole forward. If this is not done immediately and the oscillations increase in amplitude, you will have...
The key to good sailing is to stay calm and think things through. Never panic! If you have control of what your doing, being contious of your boat, a death...
Gary: See "Fly and Trim Spinnaker, Running #1". Haul the pole down using the pole downhaul and topping lift, and hold the sheet down using the block on the ...
Tom Don't you mean "...head UP a few degrees"? If you head down you run into the danger of the boom doing the nasty and slamming across - even if you have the...
Trust me folks, I've done this before both on the helm and working the sheet and guy. Using tweakers to bring the sheet and guy to the rails just aft of the...
