[quote=nohuhu]CTCAT, As you've been told, it's very normal.
Unless it's flying around "disconnected" :-O . This happens, so yes, "check/recheck" your shrouds every sail to make sure the pins and cotter rings are not walking themselves loose. The quick rings can back themselves out or deform much easier than normal ringdings.
Before sailing last week, I asked my "safety officer" to inspect the rigging, and he found the cotter ring MISSING from the forestay link at the furling drum. WTH it went I do not know! A new one is taped in place now.
While we're on the subject, do you folks recommend a loose rig or tight rig on the P18 & P18-2 w/ original sails?
I read the articles, but I'd really like your opinions. Figure 15-25mph winds and manageable swell. One person trapping.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by nohuhu on Jul 29, 2017 - 08:31 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
