S2 7.9 Meter Class Association

I have the same issue on #353, play in the tiller. When I started looking closer it appears it is a worn bushing in the lower gudgeon. Anyone still know a source for new ones?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Any more news on this topic? I raced my boat (#353) this weekend in a mixed, non-spin PHRF fleet. (for the record: 1,6,1,1,2 finishes ;) ) I just got back in the game after a 10 year layoff and when I raced before, class rules superceded. If class didn't allow you to retract a ceterboard or keel, th...

Ever get the pics?

Oh, Ic and Jc are corrected I and J for fractional rigs. I don't know what that is, if anything for the 7.9. I tole ya, this is all new stuff to me; I used to race a masthead rig with the rating taken directly from the USPHRF handbook. I could ask them i guess, but I would rather look stupid in fron...

Just ask them, that way there's no wiggle room when you tell them that someone else told you! ALL of those measurement points are in your local PHRF bylaws, and if they aren't, your local PHRF committee is a bunch of yahoos!!!! :roll: 8) :lol: Must be yahoos, because it is on the form for ME to fil...

Well both of us are wrong. I meant to print 29' 6" [not 29.6'] because the actual measurement from the Class Rules on this site is 29.5', which is what I meant in the first place. 2.5. SAIL SPECIFICATIONS: Note: The head, tack, and clew of any sail is defined as the intersection of the project...

Perhaps I have a misunderstanding of using an asym with a sprit. (remember- this is all new to me so I only know what I've read). I am under the impression that an asym behaves lke a genoa; only you can carry it a lot deeper offwind due to cut and control; no pole jibing required.

Thanks Barry, I will race PHRF as there are no other 7.9's here. We have a small fleet, so it is a choice of spinnaker fleet against a mixed bag of J24's, J22's, J29, Capri 30 and a couple of others; or non-spin against a mixed bag of cruising boats. What I am trying to figure out is if this boat re...

Can I carry the assymetric question out one more step? First, let say hello to everyone and introduce myself. My name is Mark and I just bought a 7.9 to sail on Lake Thurmond in Georgia. Naturally, I have a lot more questions than answers at this point and this forum is a wealth of good information....

Anybody ever get one rigged up?
