Re: Stus-List Rigid vang

If you buy from Gauhauer, they will bring your order to the Toronto boat show. 
Which will save you on shipping costs.

Subject: Stus-List Rigid vang 


Thinking about projects for the boat.
I definitely need a new main sheet system - and expect I'll go with 
Marek's Garhauer suggestion.  But that then raises the idea of a rigid 
boom vang - If I'm going to buy one in the near future it's better to 
combine shipping.
I'm not racing, and rarely use the existing vang (except for downwind to 
hold down the boom).  Currently boat is set up with a topping lift 
(which need to be replaced due to wear)

I never adjust my topping lift - I have it set so it's slack when the 
sail is fully hoisted, and then when the sail is dropped it comes taut a 
few inches lower (maybe that's why I have a hard time getting the leach 
tight - easier if if I tightened up the topping lift before hoisting?).

Any thoughts?  I've never used a rigid vang.  People happy with them?  
Given I don't adjust the topping lift I'm not seeing a big time savings 
- but maybe I should be adjusting it more?

Recently, some of our subscribers have indicated that they would like to
have a �Forum� similar to �cruisersforum� or �sailnet� instead of an
email list (like this one).
 
PROS:
1. Eliminate the costs related to the email list
2. Follow a thread easier without having to read multiple emails.
3. Easier to find past, archived messages and threads.
4. Possible addition of public and private photo albums.
5. Easily moderated by more than one person.  Threads can be deleted and
undesirable subscribers blocked.
6. No more 20-30 emails a day.  Visit the site at your convenience and
view the latest topics since your last visit.
 
CONS:
1. Forum software runs from free to around $250 depending on additional
enhancements.
2. Might (???) require additional disk space and bandwidth on hosting
site. ()
3. Installation � I�ve done it before and it does take some time.  And a
bit more time involved to get it tweeked to perfection.
 
Bottom line � would you rather have a FORUM or continue using this list? 
It does not matter to me.
