Bloody Boats...

I am feeling a bit "over" boats at the moment.

I had hoped to spend a day sailing this weekend, having picked up the jib from the sailmakers who gave it some TLC. Unfortunately, when we dropped the jib we found the top swivel of the self-furler was binding up at the joints of the foil sections. I'm not sure exactly what has gone on, but it seems most of the foil sections are now slightly misaligned, and it is virtually impossible to raise or lower the jib . Basically, we need to drop the forestay off so we can go right over the furler unit. Scratch sailing this weekend.
