Out last night in gusty conditions. Water 62f. Air 55.
Farmer John, booties, fleece and spray jacket. All good except...
Chilly fingers!
Anyone got good glove recommendations?
Last summer recovered this Trek 1420 from deceased uncle in law's barn. Worked on it over the winter but could never get the right pedal off (no I wasn't turning it the wrong way). Heat, pb blaster etc didn't work. Turns out I just needed to make a really long pedal wrench.
Now we can mount some better period style pedals
Replaced original sagged out sail with one from Intensity.
​
Fit was great.
​
Hearing the crisp snap is awesome.
​
The window is such a game changer. I sail in Toronto (that's the CN Tower in the background) and it can be very busy with everything on the water. I no longer will have to bend in half all the time to see what's going on.
​
Does anyone know which of the suppliers sell boom caps (the one with rope eyelet) that actually fit tightly? The one I bought at my local boat shop Fogh Marine is loose and I had to wrap it with duct tape to make it at all tight.
