Had 3 days of great sailing this weekend- hard to beleive we all had long underwear, hats and mittens when we brought her up from Freeport 2 weeks ago.
I have some questions: Were the recessed hooks in the main boom for shock line instead of sail ties when furling the main? They don't seem to be in the right spot for lazy jacks to hook in to. There is also a pad for a winch on the stb side of the mainmast w/out the winch. I'm guessing that was where the main halyrad used to go when there was a winch there. Now we use one on the fwd port side which does not lead very well. In the off season I'm thinking of moving that one to the stb side but am a little leary of what I might find when it comes to fastening it on the old "pad". Are they screwed?, lagged?- would be hard to through bolt!
