Hi all,
Proud new owner of a beautiful C30. There's just a couple things needed to make it perfect... It originally had the Dutchman flaking system, but the previous owner removed it because the lines had degraded. I'd like to replace it, but haven't been able to find any information about it. Catalina Direct has a replacement for the topping lift line, but nothing about the monofilament attachment clamps/cars/whatever you call them. As best I can tell, a previous owner untied the original pennent-style looped topping lift for the Dutchman and spliced a wire halyard to it, but kept the full length of line in a coil on the mast. It has the original grommeted sail.
Any idea where I could learn more about this system and possibly get replacement parts?
Since I know someone will ask, the reason I want it is that I do a lot of evening sailing with my family where every minute is at a premium and my toddler is constantly trying to go swimming without authorization.
Thanks!
David
