Hi all, I made a riding sail in the spring for the boat (a delta wing type). I keep the wings out with an old batten and shackle. Takes a bit to get the angles right, but when working it wanders very little and when the wind changes direction it locks onto the new direction quickly. Well worth while.

Nice....
It is amazing how the T-37 sails at anchor, maybe it's a tribute to her sailing ability! When I went to an all chain rode, it knocked out the wandering effect, but the riding sail is a good idea.
BTW, where is that anchorage? Looks nice.

On Lake Diefenbaker in Saskatchewan. Looks like I will be moving to Nova Scotia next year so "Salvation" will be on a road trip this spring for salt water!
