[quote=klozhald][quote=nohuhu]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! [/quote]
Ring dings disappear more than they should, and usually quietly. Having a Safety Officer is a great process. The ring dings on stays and jib blocks get caught on stuff, disfigure, then come off [i]while[/i] sailing.
Checking again once you hit shore isn't a bad idea either.[/quote]
