First, Sat 7/28 on the Chesapeake was a sailboaters dream, winds out of the southeast about 12kts(gusessing). Java was flying, first time we ever hit 6.8 kts sustained for about 5 minutes. Alot of this was above 6 kts for around a half hour. Truely amazing didn't know the boat could reach and hold those kind of speeds. Second, The sail slug stopper fell out and overboard when I started bringing down the mainsail. It has fallen out several times before but was able to either catch it or slipped to the lower part of the track. There has to be a better way. On our H19, there was a key type affair that had to be turned 90deg to insert or remove. Wondering if this could also be done to the H260 - Eddie??? Also thinking of using a detent or cotterless pin say 1/4" x 1 1/2", drilling a hole in the track through to the mast and using the pin to hold up the slugs. Any thoughts on this? Seemed like a bad day for the power boaters, as we were leaving Sandy Point the DNR was towing in a submerged bass boat with its only seats and top of motor showing. Late around 6:00p outside the entrance to Sandy Point, DNR and SeaTow were trying to right another power boat with only the hull showing. It had turtled. Sunday it has been raining all day.
