Is there any consensus on lodging nearby to the race site?

Bennett Yachting has a base you can use on the center foot ridge. I think everyone that went with the floor block eventually went with off the boom sheeting. It really does work better once you are accustomed to it.
I agree also. I was sure I would hate not having a floor block, so I put it on used it for the first sail, the promptly unreeved the line and haven't looked back.
I suspect I might use it for day sailing or single handing, but I'm not sure.

VX One Discussions / New guy intro and main halyard question
September 20, 2014, 08:30:47 PM
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
