[Rhodes22-list] IMF

[Jay Friedland]

Mel,
Just ask. Rob & I replaced his with new sails from Stan this year. I had my luff recovered on the main as it deteriorated from UV 2 years ago, after 14 years. So it's feasible for all  3 of us to screw up replacing your main.

Anyway, we need to catch up. My boat's the first to snap the bow chainplate 3 weeks ago according to Stan. My son, Justin was out night sailing, when it broke. he was able to secure it to a bow eye, but when he tied the gennie off, he only secured the center section, and a storm a week after the hurricane we survived, tore the gennie up. I was able to the full UV cover and Eisenglas window replaced in a few days at Moorhouse. I was heading to Stan to get my new trailer so got pieces to fix a dozen small projects, along with the chainplate. Luckily, with the jib down, we noticed the replacement adjuster we added a little of a year ago had cracks at the clevis pin, and avoided a second potential failing of the forestay. We were back sailing within a week and a half.

Saw Stan & Elton at the Annapolis show. Stan's doing fine, Elton;s hurting and slowing down a bit more. Stan's mind on the other hand is working overtime-tryng to increase mainsail size, shift COE on boat a bit aft to minimize lee helm, etc. He's already started with a newly designed masthead, shift the backstays aft about 8-10". Other things he's addressing as well. 

We need a final sail for the season in the next few weeks, maybe the ocean again.
