[Rhodes22-list] RE: Consensus on larger rings for turnbuckle locking

[Tootle]

Rory,
     Msst of use stainless steel cotter rings.  Some use pigtail others
flat.  Some cover with riggers tape or electrical tape.  Captain Rummy and I
use pvc pipes that cover the turnbuckles completely.  Recently both Captain
Rummy and I posted pictures and discussed how we do it.  
     I believe it was Captain Rummy who experienced a stolen ring a few
years ago.  So a quick inspection of all rings before any sailing should be
in order.  Also a quick extension and retraction of all sails insures safe
operation.  
     Do you own a digital camera?  If not a cheap one that will suffice
costs about $100.00.  We are looking for your pictures.
     Congratulations and best of sails.
