Re: Any downside with going to the optional larger, 5/32" headstay.
I guess what I'm really asking is will the larger head stay solve a problem I've yet to have with the original sized head stay ?

Any downside with going to the optional larger, 5/32" headstay.
I'm about to replace components of the cdi furler. Any pluses or minuses going with the larger headstay? eg. the cdi luff.

Re: replacing single rope clutch with double---how do you access bolts in head cabin top?
Just a thought. If there is no plug where your ideal location is. Then consider drilling your mounting holes with a drill bit long enough to penetrate the inner ceiling. Then with the correct hole saw make an access hole to be covered with the same size hole plugs that are used throughout the boat. ...

2001 26x trailer axle question

Re: Hove to - storm tactics
It seems to me that a year or so ago someone posted that the traditional heave to posture, back winded jib and counter balanced main, doesn't work with our boats. Memory fails me but there was something about the bow being pushed around too easily with the stern unable to catch up. So, no jib out. I...

Re: Cabin Flooring?
You might also try TSC (Tractor Supply) they're sold as stable mats or anti fatigue mats. No fancy colors though

Re: Engine Cover Repair/Replacement
Its a long shot, if you have access to a identical motor on another boat, you could ask permission to make a mold from their engine. Just a thought.
