They pop up occasionally. Or, buy a Self Tailing kit from that fellow in SF, CA, for your existing winches. I know, you think I already told you this before, but that was for your cockpit winches. Which I still think is a good idea. Bill Coleman Entrada, Erie, PA From: Matthew [mailto:wolf...@erie.net] Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2020 11:38 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List Two questions Listers: I have two unrelated questions: 1) One of my winter projects is to dress up area around the small windows down below using some wood planking (or batten strips, or whatever you call it). The cabin deck is cored, so the ceiling in the middle of the cabin can be screwed into. There is no coring around the windows, however; just fiberglass (about ¼ thick). Any thoughts on how best to attach the planking to the inside fiberglass? I suppose I could epoxy the planking in place, but this seems like overkill and a lot of work. 2) A second winter project is to reduce the number of winches on the deck around the mast. I believe the easiest way to accomplish this, without going crazy and rearranging everything, is to use two strategically placed rope clutches. To mount each rope clutch on the deck at the correct height, I will need to make a pad or something (like a winch pad, but for a rope clutch). I could use teak, which requires maintenance; starboard, which does not; or something else that does not require maintenance. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Matt
