I guess you could make the shim in the shape of a T so it would have some over hang over the spreader tube end. That should prevent the shim from slipping further down the tube and also keep the diamond wire from touching the spreader tube.

The one thing I thought about was taking a bandsaw and cutting the spreader from the inside end up to the hole. A little slot sort of. Then slip the wire up to the hole and putting a thin shim back in the slot to fill in the cut portion and then cramming it into the spreader. Does that make sense? I...

I want to see more video of you flipping.

Eric,

If you look at my post on refurb...

Pab, I don't know about letting out the traveler 6 inches, if that is better or not. Personally I would pull it in as tight as possible when beating especially if you have a wire traveler, which adds a little slop. I could be wrong though. I am not a pro but that is an interesting question. With sol...

George, Too bad about your timing, I am going to be over in Asia during that time frame unless something changes (it might). However I can hook you, OR ANYONE ELSE, up to go sailing with another friend from our club who is always looking for to go sailing. It's over in Kaneohe Bay and is without a d...

From what I remember there is maybe inch and a half of threads.

I broke one bolt taking mine out. I used a stud welder (used in autobody work) to heat it up and it broke the corrosion. Obviously don't heat it up too much. There was a small amount sticking up and I used some vise grips to remove it.

Which model camera do you have?

I meant to ask about the daggerboard. They float?

That's cool!! So you were able to un-turtle it alone? Which way was the boat pointing when you un-turtled it? I laughed watching it..... sorry. :-) I just wished I had video of me pitch-poling mine. That is pretty good video. How long will it video? How big is your memory? I am wondering if you coul...

Well....... get one then and tell me about it.
