Back at the begining of this sailing season there was a post recommending New England Ropes V-100 as a good Spin Halyard for an Inter20. I'm ready to replace mine and can't seem to find the V-100 for sale anywhere. Can someone point me in the right direction to find this product, or recommend something else if this isn't available any longer. I'd like to replace mine before the Oxford race this weekend.

V-100 is available from any major line retailer, just call them. Another line to consider is excel racing. It is taperable, and I have one on my Nacra 20. When I change it out, I will probably be going to either 1/4" Salsa or 3/16" Maffioli spliced into 1/8" (or close to it) V-12. It makes for a very grippy cover to raise the sail, and a very small line up high.

Trey,
Who would you recommend for slicing?

You are probably too late. Two parts of my boat are doing the race without me that I know of, on two separate boats.

As if my boat has a mind of its own and knows OPB is the way to go.

Just leave a sticky for what you take!:) Just supportin' the fleet the way I can at the moment.

Can we borrow those spiffy new sails? Hmmm?

Looks like it might be light, you could probably sail with your hurt wing. Just make sure you don't "fall of the boat" again.

Chris, it looks like I brought back the stuff I took off your boat too soon, its already being re-borrowed. I guess nobody noticed the trailer missing during the A Cat North Americans, eh? It carries 5 toy boats real good ha ha. Since Constantine is on vacation we should figure out what devious things we can do to His boat before he gets back. Ed


Still hazey after all these beers.

Anything for you Duck! You must have grabbed the trailer right after the Goose returned it. Were the tires still hot? After all, it was carrying a BAHB. 4-5 toy boats no problem. Did you want the Cobra to tow it, next time?

BTW, I'm rehabin’ with next season in mind, you could call it huntin' season with all this fowl around that around now a days. What is this fleet coming to?:)

Cant be messin’ with OPB, been two busy with 3-4 year old soccer and "your" Blue Blazers, if'in you take me meaning properly?

Incidentally, Bella dribbles like a little Mia Hamm. Its like the ball is attached to her feet with Velcro. She can dribble circles around her older brother and as you can imagine it torques him off.
