[quote=oscarlet]I have no fingernails, mine are very weak. The boat came with a screw box filled all sorts of gubbins and thingamajigs. There were some quick pins in there. I think I might order new rings. The ones I see on the website have a curl at the end of them which I think might be easier to get it started?? We are hoping to move the boat to a mast up storage so I wouldn't have to do it as often and we can get out quicker.
[quote]uncleatting can usually be done by flicking the line (throwing a curve down the line that uncleats it)[/quote]
I flicked the line which usually didn't work but basically my best bet was to reach over which isn't going to work in all weathers! I'm not sure, but I think it made things worse when I moved the blocks forward because there was less slack in the tramp up there for a snap of the line to work. However, my pants kept getting caught on the adjustment when it was more aft.[/quote]
