I am non-competitive, so my outlook is for ease, not speed. My first
M15 had bolt rope, and I laboriously changed her over myself, always
happy with it. Also closed that wide spot about 3 feet up (easy with
a padded flat hammer) and made my own wide spot as low as practical.
A big S/S cotter key at the top of the very low slot keeps the boom
above it, and likewise all the sail. Much easier to sail for an Old
Goat! Don't forget to spray the slot and slugs with Teflon. My #361
came with slugs on the 7-color rainbow sails, so all I had to do with
Rejoyce is lower the slot. Works for me.
