The Cape Dory Board

I use the same system as Dick has for mentioned. It was shown to me by Chris C. a fellow member of the Otsego Sailing Club, and
it has been flawless. Just remember to install the slug before stepping the mast.

Great picture, love the Typhoon in background.

I think you have the direction of rotation incorrect? In the Northern hemisphere the rotation is clockwise and counter clockwise in the southern hemisphere. Here is an added bit of trivia, some plants follow the sun, heliotropism, clockwise in northern hemisphere and counter clockwise in the souther...

Jim and Linda,

Thanks

I have the same pole for my typhoon #897. When I go on the downwind leg I loosen the jib sheet so the clew is well forward of the stays. At that point I pull the clew closer to me with the other jib sheet and insert the spike. I push the pole and sail out and hook the other end to the mast. I used i...

Thanks
