I wouldn't get overly hung up on how it was reeved, just get something that works as a cunningham with all/most the purchases you have for now and get...

Instead of the line, the two hooks fix both double blocks to the sail grommet. Yeah the top end makes sense to me since it is similar to what I did o...

mine looks different (sorry forgot to take pictures) in that it isn't attached to the mast. It is mechanically similar to this one in that it has two...

Yeah. I don't have a lower cleat on the fore-spar or on the mast. Do I need to install one? Images below to assist

I appreciate all the advice. I checked everything mentioned and then some and have glued the panel down as of this afternoon. Fingers crossed I hope I...

@texastuma - yes, chain plate stay thank you. I couldn't remember what they were called. I looked those over pretty well and there isn't any visible r...

SUCCESS!!!! After multiple sessions just trying to get that panel off success is mine! I was able to get it off and inspect the hull. GOOD NEWS! Every...

Thanks for all of the input. I'm trying not to get overwhelmed with repairs at the moment but instead do one small project at a time. At the moment, I...

So I have gotten the entire deck up EXCEPT right where it connects to the front of the Centerboard well. Looks like the PO put a bunch of glue in bene...
