If the scheduling was different, either the weekend before or after Spring Fever that might make a difference.
Umm... there is a bunch of stuff going on at WRSC around Nationals time. Maybe petition them to designate a Uni fest? I'll kick in a couple of bucks for the "trophy"!

Just a note, we will be put in the portsmouth/open class. Who says we can't do our own trophies!

Posts: 6,049 Sebring, Florida. | My 14 yr. old daughter has been making noises about wanting to sail with me, I think she just wants to meet Taylor and Matthew though...so I -might- have her with me at Gulfport, and if I go to Spring Fever, I may have to bring her too, just to get the wife to let me out of the house. She has never run a spinnaker so she will be in the way more than any help there, but I'll see if she might want to ride on a crash boat for a day while I go Uni, probably on day two, after her hands are trashed from day 1 spin work!

Posts: 6,049 Sebring, Florida. | Matt's sending me one today, I'm going to use stainless screws all the way, if I can! I think I'll have to pull out the hull bolts though to get access to the ones at the very ends, near the beam bolt. I am going to try the old 10mm wrench taped to the end of the batten...again...but last time it took me forever just to get one in the middle of the track, so I don't know how long it will take to do 20 of them!

I do question the long term durability, but there really isn't that much force there, and it is spread out amongst eight fasteners.
I'm boatless.

Posts: 329 Chicago, Illinois USA | Karl's always trying to show everyone his riv nuts Seriously, its a neat setup. They are rivets that have threads in the opening. So after they are installed, you have multiple places where the old rivets were to screw your track to the beam. Makes it easy to install or remove the jib track for those of you who switch back and forth from sloop to uni. Oh, just realized you are talking about the main on the rear beam.
