Posts: 283 | I'm looking for a bridle vane adapter like the one listed as a prindle adapter on the following page out of the Murrays catalog: Murray's Catalog, Page 52 Murray's doesn't have any in stock, and said that they are no longer available. Anyone out there who can help? This is for the standard Hobie 20 bridle connection that goes with the standard Hobie 20 forestay. Thanks! Tim J.

Posts: 283 | Tim, what's wrong with a coat hanger and VHS tape? I've been sailing quite a while now with just 1/4" audio tape, and I think it's helped me not stare at a vane. It was suggested that I get a vane by one of my consistently better competitors, so now I want to give it a try again. I kept breaking the telocat, so thought I'd try the red mylar vane instead. I think it's more sensitive than the telocat, and might be easier to read the angle than it is with the tape. Tim
