Ask Karl how you deal with spin cleat problems( i.e. Tybee). We had a spin halyard cover part so it wouldn't hold in the cleat. He tied it off GOOD to the rotator arm. My only request was that when we hit the beach I got the honors of the samurai takedown on my tapered spectra halyard. It was extremely fun, costly but fun.

My record so far for the A winter series is 0 and 2 but I'm hoping to make Admiral's cup at DIYC in March. How 'bout it?

Ding, You really gonna bust my balls about stayin' at home? I don't EVER recall seeing you North of Ga. racing. NA's don't count. You and Jake should both come up and do the Duck Cup, but I ain't holdin' my breath. Hell, I'll even put on a race here on the Outer Banks and call it the Ding and Jake duel to the death if you guys would get your butts up here.
