The plan is to keep a running list of things (well, major things I'd say... might get unwieldy otherwise) since buying the Ripple.
- How to lower, change and hoist a furling genoa single-handed
- Takes some planning, but is quite a bit easier than I expected!
- A long halyard and a single turn around your winch let's you hoist from the forestay with one hand, while you feed the sail into the furler with the other.

| Dropping my genoa to measure for a new one |
- How to tie a Fisherman's Hitch
- My marina slip just has a bull rail to tie up to, which was a new thing for me. This knot has come in handy.
- My apartment mailbox key looks a lot like my cabinway hatch key
- Found this one out the hard way after spending a good 5 minutes wondering why I couldn't open my hatch...
In other news, I just ordered a new genoa this morning. The sail maker came out and took some measurements last night. So in 5 or so weeks, I'll have a brand new shiny 140% furling genoa. Woot! #takemymoney
