Re: Remove Tramp for the winter

So what do you guys think about just lay the mast down flat , building a cradle for support it every 16 inches or so. And shrink wrapping everything else. Or I can even lay the mast under the cat.

Re: Remove Tramp for the winter

I was thinking of shrink wrapping my cat with 9 or 10 mil.

then tarp over the mast (like a tent) to prevent snow build up. What do you guys think?

Electronics and instruments

I just like to know what other sailors are using as far as electronics, compass, and gps.
I have raced off shore for over 20 years and I am so use to electronics. Now with my sc I don’t even have a compass or wind point indicator which is driving me nuts. Any opinions or link would be helpful.

However I could not get the jib tight enough. Also when I rolled it up, the jib battens didn’t look right. Finally, is there an easy way to get ...
