Aquarius Sail Owners

Thanks for the reply,I'll look into it. On a different subject: Are copper rivets stock on the clew board? There was quite a bit of corrosion on mine that had to be scrubbed off.

Are there any pics out there of how a sail feeder is installed on the mast?

I straightened the slot on the mast and spliced in a new halyard but it's still a fight. Would a direct wire to line splice be better? What brand of sail feeder should I install,if any? Is there a lube or wax that will help that wont crap out the sail? I am open to all suggestions. Thanks GH.

Thanks, I searched but did not find. Should have used "pinched
in the search line.

There is a narrow spot in my mast track that makes raising the sail very difficult. Is there a prescribed method for opening the gap?

1-1/2" Uni strut sleeves into 2" square tubing nicely. Is that size strong enough? GH

Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to the pics. Do you have Paypal?

Thanks, I am in the market for a jib. Please post details.

At last she swims.

That was the biggest pain in the a$$ of the whole refit. All day, half a dozen Scotch Bright pads, and 1/2 gallon of lacquer thinner. The battens underneath were perfect. A couple of the ends came off but they glued back on easy enough. I can't figure why someone would do that. The tape wad was the ...

That's what I figured. Thanks for the reply.

I have sought but have not found. Could someone please post a pic or diagram of the shock cord reeving. I imagine the shock cord threads under the tramp through the grommets on the tramp. Do the pad eyes amidships on either hull play a part? Thanks GH

What is the preferred method for attaching a new mast step on an SC 15? Drill and tap, what size fasteners? Bedding compound, what type? The cross beam and inner sleeve have been re welded so there are no holes at present.
What are the specs for the safety pin? Thanks GH

Yep, it's a 3/8ths hole alright, it won't quite take a 3/8ths extension. The bolts on my 15 were real stubborn. A 1/2 ratchet was the ticket. What is the torque spec for that bolt, besides tight but don't strip it out.

Matt, thanks for the reply. These are the tapered tube battens. The tape job is very nice, but it's tape. Sooner or later I am going to get black residue leaching through what is otherwise a new condition 1982 sail. Unless somebody chimes in to say otherwise, I think I'll strip it off and wipe down ...
