Reply to: Sail Slugs to be or not to be?

[quote=DamonLinkous][quote=attrezzop]I'm thinking about installing sail slugs on my P16. The bolt rope is a real jerk. [/quote] I assuming you are looking at slugs because you are having trouble raising or lowering your main sail. If that is the case then my advise would be to solve the problem rather than trying to unnecessarily "reinvent the wheel". Thousands of Prindle 16's have no trouble raising/lowering their sails. You didn't mention how old your sail is, old sails tend to get stretched out and the bolt rope can become frayed or swollen. If the sail is old but in good shape otherwise, you can probably get the bolt replaced for what the slugs would cost. Tell us the actual problem you are trying to solve and you'll get some good info. [quote=attrezzop]I looked into that but what about reefing? [/quote] Forget about it. The early Hobie and Prindle 16's had reef points in their sails but that went away a long time ago.[/quote]
