Patrick,
I also have a PIY PSS shaft seal and I am happy with it. I installed it 3 years

through it. So if you like your bilge dry, this is, certainly, a way.

If you really need one-handed adjustment, you can put a bit less friction on

The only thing I would suggest is to use some pad-eye under the boom or some

There were multiple discussions on merits of adjusting the panel and the
general consensus is that a fixed panel is good enough and often better than an
adjustable one, because half of the time, it is incorrectly adjusted.

I would at least measure the luff length. If they made a mistake (and they do
happen), you want to catch it early and have them redo the sail (one would only
hope that the mistake was on their part, not yours). If the luff is too long,
the sail is useless and you want to know that part asap. The

Have you considered Kiwi prop? I don’t have the first hand experience, but the
