Today was a HOT one!
We went aloft to see if this boat can accept an all rope jib halyard.
As you can see, it is not the sheave that is the problem but rather space between the head-stay and sheave, it is simply too tight to fit anything other than wire.
Other than the heat it was a beautiful day.
The boat is a Frers 38, another one of my favorites.
Thank you for taking a look at the view.

When it comes to specific radio product knowledge, we always recommended that our customers seek the advice of a certified marine electrician. However, just like with all other mast related electrical items,…
These guys seem nice enough. They are Olympic virgins, but seem to have what it takes. This dynamic duo missed a bronze medal by only two points. This is quite an achievement against the worlds best sailors. Take two minutes and get to know them a little better, I think we’ll be seeing more of…
