S2 7.9 Meter Class Association

I have a 1982 hull (#107) and am pretty sure the mast is original to the hull. Does anybody know what size retaining plugs I need to hold my shrouds in place on the mast?

I replaced the forward hatch on Wind's Choice (#107) several months ago and went with the Bowmar 966. It fit right in and have had no leaks or other issues.

Thanks for the tip. I hope it is many years down the road before I have to replace it.

Thanks for your reply. I talked to the Bomar manufacturer and they recommended 3M 5200. That is what I used. Now I am second guessing them because that stuff gets pretty hard.

I am in the process of replacing the front hatch cover on #107. I am going to install the Bowmar 966, which is what is on there now. Any suggestions on what kind of caulking / sealant to use?

Using the Loos Model PT-2 Tension Gauge I set my upper shrouds at 22 and my lowers at 17. What numbers are others using?

Can anyone tell me the numbers that the upper and lowers should be set at using the Loos Tension Gauge Model PT-2

Good to hear. It's always better to be safe than sorry.

Did you leave the board up or put it down and how did your boat fair?

I have a friend that has the fixed keel version and I recently purchased the daggerboard version. My friend has not had his in the water yet but he will shortly. I am waiting to see how we do against him. I will keep you informed.

I just purchased hull # 107. It is now located in Pass Christian, Mississippi
