It's idiot proof, huh?
well...I can use it. Do we need to find another to prove the case?
But we digress. The poster wanted to know how to get his metal strap to slide. You may also want to lightly steel wool your boom and also make sure your lines are clean. Dirty lines are stiff and they stick. Then there's the lubrication already mentioned.
The thing is, I thought the amazing new sleeve was the end to all worries. No sticking, no messing about, just plop it on and done. Was it not advertised as the be all solution?
mawill said:Ross - I don't get it Ross - you seem so full of contradictions.
The mark of true genius.
On the one hand you pontificate about saving money
Other people's money. The man cares about other peoples money. He is truely Selfless.
and on the other, you seem to have spent about 60 dollars on clew tie downs (as you say, you have never had a problem with the SEA, the Rooster or the Clew Sleeve). That is alot of hardware for a 8 dollar piece of line for a guy concerned about saving money.
That's his money. Product research, finding the final 0.00005678 of a knot. An inspiration to us all.
In an earlier thread about this exact same topic, you mention that 1/4 inch won't make a difference, and then in this thread, you imply that the 'peace of mind' is worth 45 dollars?
Context is everything. He's had time to rethink.
I would guess that 1/4" of slack along the leech would be about 2" of vang line coming out of a 12:1 system. Maybe less.
Please, if you are going to toss out opinions and advice with such amazing frequency and run for some Class office (unless that is some elaborate joke), at least be consistent in your views and advice - otherwise, you come across as simply being a know it all typing to hear the sound of your own voice.
Sounds like the perfect political candidate. Vote Ross for NA boss!
