Hi Jim, In order for the wire to unlay like that it will need to grow shorter, pin-to-pin, a slight amount. My forestay looked similar to that when I replaced the gang 5 years ago. It had two broken strands hiding under a Harken Mark I furler. Cheers, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 At

Peter, What caused the damage to the top of the extrusion?  Hard to tell from the pic.  Need to figure that out. Yes, you can cut the extrusion off, but only if you have enough extra at the bottom inside the torque tube to be able to slide the extrusion assembly upward so it rides on the swage

It's all about sail shape in coordination with the helm. In general, very full sails are more powerful but won't let you point as high. Flat sails are slower but allow for higher pointing. Assuming you're going into a downwind leg, you want your sails to be as "spinnaker like" as possible. L

Curtis, These are some basic racing questions. You will probably learn more, faster, if you crew on someone else's boat. Alternatively some of the listers might have some suggestions for a "learn to race" book. Most learn to sail "sailing for dummies" type books have a section for racing too.
