Here it is again...

No Lucky Strikes?

Every now and again you see these really ridiculous boat ad photos.... This one made me laugh out loud

Or maybe one of these low friction rings... just use a shorter pendant than seen in this photo and tie it off at the top of the mast. Run the halyard through the ring.

I think the idea you mention in the second photo would work. It does not even have to be that elaborate. Any block on a short pendant attached at the top of the mast should keep your halyard from wrapping.

This place sells lightning protection equipment but it also has a nice "how to" video and some instructional materials. https://www.kuefler-lightning.com/kuefler-lightning-protection-tour/

FYI That is called athwartship

Photos would help.

This is the basic set up for a Hunter 26

You can get the old paint off of the boat by making some inexpensive "home made" peel away. Take a 5 lb bag of garden lime and mix it with about 4 cups of potassium hydroxide (drain-o, canning lyme etc). Put it all in a 5 gal PVC bucket and add just enough water to give it a melted peanut...

This is a very interesting thread. It makes me want to go buy an ark welder. :) So one thing I can see as a draw back regarding the nose guard is that it will interfere with how the anchor sets in a bow roller. But I can see how it will keep the anchor from getting snagged on a root.

I already have a copy of Peggie's book. Also the Andrew Evans (Single Handed Sailing) is a member of this forum. I have a copy of his book as well. It is a very good read.

You will want to fill in the grooves of the cloth with some fairing compound and then seal it up with some epoxy barrier coat and last paint it with a quality enamel paint. I like rustoleum. If you plan to keep it on the trailer, then you do not need to deal with antifouling bottom paint...

Looks pretty good to me. Did you clean the rust off before you closed it all up? I've sailed a lot of different swing keel boats. I've owned two Macgregor V21s and a Mac V22-2, a Balboa 26, a Rhodes 22 and I now own a Hunter 26. It is not going to fall off. The real danger is the keel...

That one is just toooo easy...

You are obviously more mature than I am.... Ten minutes... hahahahaha....bah haha!
