Howdy Stranger,

I've no idea what you're talking about. How the heck do you extend the upper shroud? What's a drag shoot on the nose?

The dealer told me to swim the front of the hulls into the wind. This will send wind under the sail. Weather vain stuff is great when it's not very windy. But when the wind is blowing the boat very shortly swings the mast directly into the wind. This positions the face of the tramp against the wind. Heck that's more surface area than a jib on a twenty foot boat. No way is a swimmer strong enough to swing a boat around with the "tramp sail" up and filled with wind.

I was pretty naive when I got into sailing, I actually thought the manufacturer would have thought out a whole series of solutions, tips, tuning guide, etc. Color me dumb
