You can definitely see the jib halyard needs a little yank in that last video. If you want feedback on your sail trim, just do a scanning shot of you...

Pop that baby up at 45 degrees a la Tornado! It's probably cheaper and easier to modify your trailer than the boat. Although the 1000 lbs might requ...

I don't know too much about the mechanics of going solo with a spin boat but I know tons of people do it. I mostly crew on 2-man spin boats. I know ...

A 10-mile spinnaker run is well worth the upgrade! I don't have a spinnaker setup. Heck, I don't even have a boat anymore, but I have ridden on plen...
