Jerome, can you post info on the hospitality regatta?

Yep, 5.7. Haven't had a chance yet to do anything except take it home. A club officer was there when the damage was found so hopefully the club insu...

Use the other dagger for a pattern and carve one from mahogany. Or maybe a good opportunity for some 3D printing

I did not know about the rigging sale but I'm about to change mine out so that's good news!

I don't carry one. Who am I gonna throw it to...or who's gonna throw it to me. Seriously though, it probably is a good idea and is legally require...

Well you guys have presented the exact two sides of the situation I have already considered! Yeah, I'm really not too worried about a failure. I'm n...

I'm for sure replacing it all except possibly the diamonds. Putting in a new mast step rod as well. Gotta take the old pretzel shaped one out! Hopi...

Seems like a mistake

The aircraft spruce one is definitely actual milspec for about the same price. Not saying that validates it. A call to SD may be a good idea.Edited ...

Yeah, that's an expensive cotter pin! I wonder if it's just an error on the website. Aircraft spruce also has the milspec for about $16

When I did mine way back--97?--the "factory" answer from performance was a layer of mat, saturated with polyester resin. It worked well. Probably no...
