Greetings, VX One people. My name is Don Winston, and I've just acquired #145. I sailed it today in western Long Island Sound in a 12-15 knot breeze. Great boat!!!
The main halyard keeps slipping 3-4", despite taking 5 wraps and 3 figure-8's around the cleat. I'm not sure what material the halyard is currently, but it's slick, thin, and tangles easily if that helps.
Are there any ways to keep the halyard better secured, or suggestions on different material to change to?
Thanks,
Don Winston
