  2007 Etchells North American Championshi
Skip Etchells, yacht designer and boat builder from Greenwich, Connecticut, USA, followed the results of this competition with interest, but not until trials were set for the fall of 1966 in Kiel, Germany, did he decided to design and build a contender.
A class organization formed immediately and the boat was named E 22 because the design is 22 feet on the waterline.
Skip and the Old Greenwich Boat Company built the first 36 Etchells from 1967 to 1969, and continued to finish boats moulded for him by Tillotson-Pearson through the early seventies.

Apparently Etchells had already informally made known these figures to interested parties because a number of those present readily handed-their checks to him.

Unless you are sure what the conditions will be on the race course or it is extremely windy, I generally recommend fine tuning the shrouds, mast step and mast chocking while tuning up before the start of the race.
Remember the Etchells class rules allow you to adjust your shrouds, backstay and mast chocks while racing but prohibits adjustment of the mast step and headstay while racing.
As a general rule of thumb, I like to see the wrinkles in the lower luff of the mainsail stop at about 50% camber position (middle of the lower aft window in the main).
