[Rhodes22-list] Stay there!

[Joe Camp]

Hey all:

     Does anyone use lock nuts on the stay turnbuckles?  I was out a couple of 
weeks ago in some really severe winds and noticed that my starboard side stays 
had too much play in them.  I got them tightened down, but had the worst 
happened with all of the mast movement, I may have been fishing the whole damn 
rig out of the water.  Thanks.
