Greetings!
Happy 2009! I hope your year is going great thus far. The cold weather has been hitting hard this season but that doesn't stop us from looking forward to spring. This month brings us to Strictly Sail Chicago and after that is over we will be within six weeks of our Spring Thaw Open House. See, spring is closer than you thought!
As always, we look forward to your comments and suggestions. We are also interested in what topics you would like to see. Email the Torresen Sailing Newsletter to let us know what you think. |

| These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things |
|
 by John Schumacher
As a rigger I split my time between listening to customer's issues, researching solutions, and installing or modifying current rigging systems . During the inspection stage of a rigging problem one can find many hidden issues. Some systems work better than others do. Some theories work better than others do. Many times we find problems with the original installations.
