Hi Folks,
on my second outing with my '75 M-17 Miss Take, my son home on
Thanksgiving break noted that the lines from the jib were not coming in
at an angle that allowed the winches to work. He had lots of experience
with winches during his season on Lake Superior (Brrr). Upon referencing
some of the other photos on the web site I realized that the blocks
that should apparently be on the toe rail to guide the lines are not
there on my boat. Any suggestions on how to order these and how they
install on the rail?
Also, one of the turnbuckles had come unscrewed when I checked on the
boat today at the marina. The winds are hitting 35mph gusts and my
thought was that it would be a bad thing if the mast decided to crash
due to lack of support. The turnbuckles have nuts at either end but
they are mostly frozen in place. Any suggestions on fixing this beyond
trying to break loose the nuts and using those to lock the turnbuckles?
Anyone else had there turn buckles unscrew themselves?
Thanks in advance
Robbin
