Forgot to ask. How do I tell if I have a lot of luff round? It definately gets harder about half way up. Just unroll it and eyeball it? The sail is original I believe.

SC20 Main Halyard
Raising my mainsail requires a lot of force (150+ lbs sometimes) and even with no sail my main halyard seems to have a lot of drag. Looking at the masthead sheave it doesn't seem too bad but it definately has some wear on it and the sheave at the bottom is a little worn as well. My sheaves are all a...

Rudder Question
The rudder pin hole in my rudders have become quite enlarged with years of use and neglect. I am planning to fill the holes with epoxy and redrill. Does someone have any dimensions on exactly where the hole should go?

Re: Snapped bolt
Thanks Bill. Looks like I am going to go the helicoil route. After 2 days with liquid wrench the EZ out still snapped. That bolt is really in there! I am lucky in that the bolt broke about 1/4" above the deck so I should be able to take a grinder to the bolt and grind out the EZ out. Then I gue...

Help - snapped bolt!
Tom/Bill, I have a SC20 #113. I think it is a 82 or so. Earlier today I was removing a hull so I could make some repairs. One of the bolts that hold the straps on that hold on the cross beams sheared in the hull. All of them were very tight. I know I had that hull off less than 2 years ago so I don'...
