climate is a factor in the wear of our beloved cats. many have gelcoat and this is mildly UV sensitive. tramps, blocks, lines, etc are also UV sensitive and attempts to minimize exposure will protect and extend the life of sed equipment (can you tell my family has lawyers in it)?
Here in the Tampa area, its like AFRICA.. so i tarp my tramp and spinnaker snuffer bag (first one lasted less than a year).
I spray 303 protectant on my hulls and some of my blocks (it claims to be like 40spf)
As per the jib... I recently tired to help someone rig their p16 (with turnbuckle) and i had NO CLUE! But i am certain your jib should not be attached only at the 3 grommets. there has to be a jib halyard or your forestay there to take the brunt of the forces sailing will create. if the jib takes all those forces without a cable... i can almost promise you it will ripppppppp
read the manual... go to the stores, bring a pen and paper, ask questions, go to the lake and find other p16 owners... ask everywhere... :)<!-- editby --><em>edited by: andrewscott, Jul 15, 2009 - 04:39 PM</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
