Wood in winter
I am going to buy a new deep side cover and double check the epoxy and varnish before sailing most of the winter with my Miles.
In the past I have brought her home before Christmas
Is this a sensible plan?

If it twas me, then I would garage the boat by mid October latest and, if sailing through the winter, trailer down for the day, pack her up after and back home to the garage to dry out. Saves ongoing maintenance and keeps the boat looking in tip top condition for longer but, of course, takes a lot longer time wise when you might prefer to be back home sitting infront of the log fire.

Kicker, first race of the season.
Hi All, I took my Solo for her first race out on Sunday.
The kicker broke on me when I was catching up to someone. Looking at my kicker setup the D shackle lost the pin and bent the shackle. I have a spare one that fits, but I was wondering what type of set up for kickers do you all have? (after someone at the club said that all solo's seem to have different kicker),

Solo Allen Spliced Kicker System (Double) - Kicker Fittings & Systems from Pinnell & Bax Limited UK
If you fancied splashing the cash then the kicker system from P&B via the link above is a good starting point.
