Thanks Rick. If you want to delete the message, I understand completely. I recently bought a H17 and had nothing but trouble from the halyard ring. I eventually came up with a design that works. I have sold about 10 or so from my website in the last week. I'm not some huge corporation making hundreds of thousands of dollars at your expense. I was only trying to help fellow cat sailors fix a problem while making a few bucks on the side so I can upgrade my H17. I split the sail at the top batten this weekend, and I definitely could use the extra $$ to try to have it fixed.<br><br>
