<div dir="ltr">Looks like we'll have a break in the weather after our recent epic storms: <a href="http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/San+Francisco+CA+USCA0987">http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/San+Francisco+CA+USCA0987</a><div>
<br></div><div>Tonight is tune-up night. Something new we are trying out to help level set the fleet in terms of boatspeed by sharing go-fast tips from the top boats. <br><br></div><div>As part of tune-up night, I'll walk through two topics starting around 5:30:<br>
<br></div><div>1) Top five tips to rig up your V15, also outlined on this post: <a href="https://medium.com/sailing-2-0/a479794689c8">https://medium.com/sailing-2-0/a479794689c8</a><br><br></div><div>2) How to tune your rig with right combination of rake and tension. At the end of the evening, you should know how to fill in this worksheet: <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/cj2n0sy0e5ph6ao/Vanguard%2015%20tuning%20worksheet%2C%20v1.pdf">https://www.dropbox.com/s/cj2n0sy0e5ph6ao/Vanguard%2015%20tuning%20worksheet%2C%20v1.pdf</a>, originally derived from Luther Carpenter's classic V15 tuning guide: <a href="http://www.v15.org/articles/luthtuning.html">http://www.v15.org/articles/luthtuning.html</a>. Bring a couple of pencils and fine-point Sharpie permanent marks, plus a long (30 foot) measuring tape if you have one.<br>
<br></div><div>If you're an experienced V15 sailor, please do come out to help out with the tune-up. <br></div><div><br>Svendsens will be on-hand with a bunch of gear including both basic
necessities (plugs, rope) to go-fast parts (stamasters, etc.). They'll be taking credit cards.<br><br></div><div>Sailing is optional tonight, but there won't be any formal racing. Formal racing starts next week, April 10. BUT -- you do get points for showing up tonight. (Oh, and if it's a southerly, watch out since it can be sketchy to sail in those.)<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>SOCIAL CHAIR are Sam and Lyzz (thanks guys!) so please register so they have a headcount: <a href="http://vanguard15.org/schedule/768">http://vanguard15.org/schedule/768</a><br><br></div><div>We need more social chairs! Here's the signup form: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BJxakWwf4Z_0okkvFVGh2nPltH8fcphEg7To0zA26JY/edit#heading=h.30s33moisi0r">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BJxakWwf4Z_0okkvFVGh2nPltH8fcphEg7To0zA26JY/edit#heading=h.30s33moisi0r</a><br>
</div><div><br></div><div>Full race schedule is up, too: <a href="http://vanguard15.org/schedule/">http://vanguard15.org/schedule/</a>. (Ok, Tomales isn't there but we're looking tentatively at Sep 27-28, so save that date.)<br>
