I am the proud new owner of hull number 380. Overall boat is in good shape but needs some work and this site has been a great resource, so I figured I would start here:
1). What type of hardware is used to connect the mast to the plate, the bottom of my mast contains a rusty bolt and a few washers, my guess is there is a better option, cotter pin? Or wing nut to tighten?
2). Boat also comes with a Harken jib furler. When I raise the mast do is still use the forestay, or does the wire in the jib surrounded by the harken hardware replace the forestay?
3). The boom does not have a mainsheet attached to it, does anyone have a diagram on how you attach the mainsheet.
Sorry if these questions are basic, I have been out of sailing for a while, but am excited to get back into it with my kids.
