We've recently solved fixed both problems. For the Backstay, we simply loosened the back turnbuckles as far as possible. This allows the mast to move forward giving us better downwind performance and made the spread of the stays wide enough to have enough leverage to move the car back up the mast. The light air fix for us was a foam core batten for the top batten. It comes across on its own in 2 knots and we pull down on the boom in less and it pops pretty quickly now. I am curious about the "flicker" though, what is that? |
