Today I rant and rave a bit about working and all that entails, I have been missing the type of work where you feel sore the next day and get your hands dirty. But before I am off to the boat, I wanted to get the podcast in for all of my wonderful listeners. Plus, it has been a while since I did a solo show, thanks for listening!

Today we have a technical episode with Sven. He and I go over the 11-page form for taking measurements of the rig on a sailboat. If you are thinking of getting new sails made, chances are that you will be given this form if you want to do this yourself. I used this recording to help me with the process a few days ago on Sparrow and it made filling in the forms a breeze. Big thanks to Sven for sharing his time and expertise in this area.
