Reply to: More 5.2 advice

[quote=halliske]Thanks again to all who have taken a sec to respond !!! 1..JIb Rigging This is a pic of the Halyard conection to the jib tac.. ( If the pix works..[img]http://www.thebeachcats.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=79394&g2_serialNumber=3[/img][img]http://www.thebeachcats.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=79393&g2_serialNumber=3[/img]Figured that it was originally and probably did not have the wire piece( SLO Sail shop make 2 styles of jib halyard).. So Going to install a block with a becket there .. At the base of the mast only a eye and the jam cleat now.. Going to install a cheek block there. [img]http://www.thebeachcats.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=79401&g2_serialNumber=3[/img]Center Starb. side of the front of the mast OK for the cheek block?? What was the duty of the eye there on the lower part of the mast there ?? 2..Mast base and DS pin. Is there really a difference in the durability of the 2 sizes of the DS if you lower the mast properly?? YURDLE.. Was that your DS?? Not sure that it is worth it to install a bigger DS?? 3..I have the old single post mast rotation control. Looks like it will work?? Worth the retrofit of a newer style?? Same for the spreaders. (How about sealing the old style spreaders to seal the mast?? 4.. Sailed H 16s.. NO CENTER BAR on the tramp. Looks like a nightmare.. Read in other posts that it can be gone with some "bracket" retro work. Not clear which bracket??? 5..Going to put some gromets in the tramp for the trap lines and to relocate the jib blocks. Think I can figure out the aft Trap lines. Are the forward ones OK in the X Memeber?? 6.. The boom has the older 3 block set-up. Worth getting a new block for that?? Located on whitch tac point.. Want to contribute??. Send cash.. 7.. Have a roller set up from an H18. Planning to single most of the time.. Might be handy to depower.. Looks like it may work.. Any tips or advice?? 8.. Now the hulls.. The last owner painted the keels with a anti-fouling paint. Blue in the pix.. Looks like he primed it with some kind of primer.. [img]http://www.thebeachcats.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=79402&g2_serialNumber=3[/img] Brownish in the pix.. The Blue comes off with Acetone and better with MEK.. [img]http://www.thebeachcats.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=79402&g2_serialNumber=3[/img] Any prob using those on the glass?? The brown will need some rubbing compound or sanding i think.. I would love to have an all white hull.. Questions.. Gelcoat (or paint) the whole hull?? Only from the line down?? Good news is that the keel has NO BEACH WEAR !! [img]http://www.thebeachcats.com/pictures/?g2_itemId=79406[/img]Needs no glass or build-up.. Oh Yah. Even if it is a 77.. The hulls are shine-en. (Stored insidde for lots of years.. even in Calif).. What is the polish of choice?? .. By the way, the Hobies in the back ground of one of the pixs are not all mine !! I"m not that ill.. Got storage. Actually the H 20 and the Nacra 5.8 the call this place home are elsewhere for maintainance.. Not too a big fleet though.. If pixs dont show ther are in the Album section.. Thx Hal[/quote]
