I ever saw on a sailboat was a guy who neatly arranged his lines-led-aft blocks in a line on the mast - and drilled mounting holes all on one plane, then watched in horror as his mast neatly folded up and fell as the holes had essentially cut his mast 3/4 the way through....

Ouch!!!!

I think the original poster dropped his gate latch on the gel coat - unlubricated with XD oil, to boot.....

Was That a Gate Latch? or a Lock Hasp?? Hahahahahah

Have you posted this mod? I was looking for it. I wanted to see how the PVC tubes were attached.

just some big hose clamps. (the larger anchor got high quality german hose clamps ($8/each IIRC), the other uses ones from HomeDepot... I'd recommend HD and replace them when they start to rust.

cutting them is the trick. (this is on a classic 26) I could have left them longer but then its a longer reach to put them in..
