After the Steeplechase my tramp gained a few small tears. What is the best method to repair. They are small, bacically one hole area ripped. I was thinking I could just sew them together.

ARC 21 mast rotation

What is the theory and control of the Arc21 mast rotation? I am trying to understand how I can limit mast rotation in light to moserate breeze. I feel that the mast is rotating well past 90 deg and ahead of the apparaent wind.

Happy Thanksgiving.
Time to pray for those that have less than ourselves, regardless of how much or how little we think we have. And a special prayer for those that don't sail cats.

Sail on,

Reeving and parts.

Thank you Tom.

Also, what is the procedure to purchase parts for my boat? Is there a parts list with part numbers and prices or do I just e-mail or call you?

How to reeve a 10:1 maintackle?

New Spi Launcher ?

Bill,

Is the ARC 17 Snuffer adaptable to the 21? Or, will there be another model manufactured? If so, can you estimate when?
