thanks but ive still got th problem of not being able to adjust the joib tention since thats the only thing the others have on me i need to know how to do it better? The other thing is if you have the side stays tight and the mast raked heaps back ive heard its not always the best since it slows your tack down heaps. in terms of nose diving im not too worryed since the only times i really have to worry is when the wind pushes above 25. No offence at all but i think a few people are showing their age and this is coming from me but then again im only 16 so every one is old to me.
