[Will adding an asym alter my PHRF rating? is the pole still used?

I'm not that spin knowledgeable, but I do know our PHRF (SWFL) has a special rule for asym. spins that I believe gives no penalty if its the same area or smaller than the class spin. No pole, only a bow sprit.

We had the exact same problems... wound up replacing the pump for the reasons Sam described, West also carries the pump. We made a handle out of 13/16" conduit and added a bicycle grip for the calssy touch! Putting in the new pump took less than an hour.

I gotta tell you, our mast came out looking great, I credit Jim for doing an excellent prep and painting job. We'll keep the list posted on the Rustoleum appliance paint hold up, but it looks like new now. 8)

Important message re: spreaders!!!!!

Here's one for you northern boats (and the southern ones in freezing temps) Our spreaders have small cracks about 1/4" from the leading edge near the outer tips of the spreaders. The cracks are on both spreaders and are about 2-3 inches long. I dropped them off at JSI here in St. Petersburg to ...

Board blocks

After seeing all the posts on dagger board blocks, researching the heck out of it I still have a question. I need to replace the first block (from the winch-not on the fiddle at the board)) as it is severely weathered. It looks to be 1 7/8" in diameter, 3/8" for the pin and 7/16 wide. The ...
