Since I have been involved with SC20 ( 1980) I have never heard of any problems with that part except for your particular boat. Something is not correct in the way it is rigged. Do you have some photos of how it is rigged? We would like to see them, because the problem you have is unique. We no long...

Kevin, The barber hauler on the SC20 was used to optimize the slot between mainsail and jib. Used correctly it will allow you to trim the jib so that the leech is the optimum distance from the main when going up wind. You must be sure that you do not choke off the slot by pulling the barber hauler i...

Peter, The easiest way to check width of track is with a drill bit. Just find one that fits in a good portion of the track and us that as a gauge. Use the shank portion , not the twist. If you do locate a pinch you can usually force it out with some care. Get a hard wood or plastic wedge that you ca...

Changing to slug slides is not a correct modification on an SC17 mainsail. Adding slug slides will destroy the correct mast rotation and the battens will poke past the mast as it rotates. If your halyard is a wire to rope splice style it should be replaced with the current hook and ring with the low...

Eric, A couple of questions about the bisters. How large are they? Are they blisters in the top coat only? If you break one open are they dry inside? Where are these blisters located and are they on both boards? Also do you know if the boards were ever painted at some time? We have had a few problem...

Eric, I do not see a need to loosen the trampoljne. The material will stretch some when new, but after you retension it a couple of times it will remain solid. If you relax the lacing you will just start the cycle over again. I typically tighten my 22 tramp three times a season ( April thru October)...
