Intensity Sails and the Stainless Outhaul Sleeve

Before you set out for your first practice sail with an Intensity Mainsail on your Laser, check to be sure that the clew cringle fits into the new stainless outhaul hook. A number of us inaugurated our new practice sails and found that the clew cringle was too fat to fit into the hook without a real struggle and at the end of our sail it wouldn’t come out without a struggle. A bit of flattening seemed to help.
